ENGL 652 - Advanced Teaching Writing in a Digital Age

Credits: (3)

Prerequisites: None
This course offers experienced writing teachers (classroom-based or online) an opportunity to migrate those skills to an explicitly digital domain of blogs, glogs, graphic illustration, video production, social media, e-publications, and other less traditional avenues of expression. Students will design a full six weeks-length publication project for a public school age audience at the primary, middle, or secondary level. Emphasis will be placed on writing for varying discourse communities and in varying discourse styles, dependent upon format and audience expectations, and in alignment with contemporary needs for flexible responsiveness in successful communicative acts of composition.
