Course description

Who Should Attend? Anyone interested in assisting
students who struggle with the writing process and interested
in learning & collaborating together in a community.

Requirements: Participants are required to attend all live

What Is It? This series will focus on three areas of the
writing process: organization, entering text and editing. The
sessions will provide participants with strategies and tools
to support students that struggle in those areas

• Organization refers to the brainstorming and determination of
what ideas might be used in the body of the written work. It is a
plan and structure of the written work.
• Entering text refers to the physical aspect of putting the ideas
down, whether that be low tech such as pencil/paper or high tech
such as speech to text.
• Editing refers to the process of clarification and revision of the
body of work once it has been written. It is during this process

Participants will: 

• list 3 tools to support writers at each phase of the writing process 
• Assess the impact of tools use on student performance. 
• Discuss the impact of tool use on student performance with other PLC members
