Today's Goals

Learning Outcomes​

  • Demonstrate their ability to collaborate effectively as members of diverse teams / groups of writers,

  • Demonstrate control of situation-appropriate conventions of writing

​

Habit(s) of Mind

  • Responsibility is fostered when writers are encouraged to act on the understanding that learning is shared among the writer and others—students, instructors, and the institution, as well as those engaged in the questions and/or fields in which the writer is interested

  • Metacognition is fostered when writers are encouraged to connect choices they have made in texts to audiences and purposes for which texts are intended

​

Key Terms

  • Composing Processes: planning, researching, drafting, sharing and responding, revising, editing, publishing, reflecting

  • Genre and genre conventions

​

Warm Up
