ED PS 5130 - Writing Across the Curriculum

Meets with ED PS 6130. Introduces writing as a process that can be used to learn concepts across different curricular areas. Examines the process of writing and will discuss, model, and practice a number of different writing pedagogies. Participants in the course will engage in the writing process as they explore a concept or topic in their disciplinary areas. In addition, they will learn how to teach writing as a process in different content areas. A field component, in which course participants work with secondary school students in schools to use writing in the disciplines, may be included in the coursework. This course is required for students taking a reading minor, but is open to students across campus, and will be designated as a Writing Emphasis course.
