These projects will serve to help you synthesize and apply the rather disparate material we will be reading as you develop your theory of writing instruction. They will also serve as practice in writing approaches and processes. Some will require outside research. Completed papers will not be accepted unless the required preliminary steps have been completed. When revisions are due, please submit them, along with previous drafts, feedback sheets, prewriting materials, and any outside source material, in a manila folder with your name written clearly on the tab.
All outside assignments are due at the beginning of class.
Also, you are required to have backup copies of all synthesis papers, and to be able to produce such copies when requested. There will be two essay exams, numerous required worksheets and informal writing assignments, and three revised papers. Be on time. As you prepare to enter the education profession, it is important that you form good professional habits. Primary among these is simply showing up on time.
