Your major project for the course is to compose and design a substantial month-long unit — or series of smaller weekly scaffolded units — with measurable outcomes that you could conceivably assign in an online writing course. For example:
- A three-week unit on mindful reading and written analysis
- A research project that requires synthesizing credible sources and that provides a recommendation or persuasive position
- A multimodal project that integrates text, images, and sound
- A social-justice project that inspires readers toward action
I mention these possibilities only to suggest the possible scope of our projects. We will workshop project proposals and narrow or broaden your project scope as needed.
- You should be able to connect your project idea to your Pedagogy & Teaching Statement
- Connect your project to the tools, platforms, processes, and materials that we’ve been discussing and using
- Have a plan for reading, responding to, and assessing student work
