a day-long workshop on developing writing assignments that engage students in challenging and meaningful ways
\n<\/em>friday, september 12, 2014
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9am:\u00a0 jason lovorn, \u201cwriting in a material world: \u00a0writing contexts, service-learning, and student engagement\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

this interactive talk will explore how the material contexts of writing assignments can have pronounced effects on ways in which students engage their work. we will look first at theoretical perspectives that draw attention to materiality and consider possible applications to pedagogy. \u00a0more specific to writing classes, we will examine the strong roles that writing prompts play in shaping student writing. \u00a0then, moving beyond the confines of the classroom, we will consider ways in which the material world of service-learning enables students to become more engaged writers.<\/p>\n

10am: melanie hundley, \u201cre-imagine writing: digital and multimodal possibilities for academic writing\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

this interactive talk will examine the idea of academic writing, its purposes, and its familiar formats. \u00a0we will then ask what happens when an academic writing task is shifted from page to screen\u2014how do the possibilities for academic texts change? \u00a0how do academic arguments shift in structure and organization as they move to different formats? \u00a0we will look briefly at theoretical frameworks for reshaping texts and explore several examples of academic texts. \u00a0we will then create a practice digital analysis of a text. \u00a0after this exploration and text creation, we will discuss guidelines for creating digital and multimodal student tasks. \u00a0we will consider the role of the writer, the purpose of the writing, and the ways in which alternative structures can provide multiple opportunities for student learning.<\/p>\n

lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n

1pm: elizabeth covington, \u201cimagining assignments\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

this session will demonstrate the creation of the ibook as digital assignment and will shift to an interactive time when participants create their own assignments using what they have learned from the day\u2019s sessions.<\/p>\n
