You've given them a chance to improve and learn with this workshop: good for being brave enough to stop and change the approach of the course to accommodate this.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093558563358431804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-39266343142179559582009-09-15T15:28:20.167-07:002009-09-15T15:28:20.167-07:00"Students aren't widgets."

I've met some students who've never had to develop their own topics ever. Others have a very rigid sense of the writing process starting with outlines (which always suggests to me that the brainstorming happens in one's head instead of on the page, since how can you outline something if you're still exploring?). <br /><br />I'm a writing teacher -- and I'm grateful that a teacher in a content field (a term I hate, but that's all I can think of for now) teaches the writing that is appropriate for that class. (Writing teachers can't prepare students for all writing -- from the biology lab report to the literary analysis.)Earnest Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947000435270263070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-53150054978653866292009-09-15T08:22:17.943-07:002009-09-15T08:22:17.943-07:00"Students aren't widgets."
