How to Create Independent Student Writing Groups

When & Where

Tuesday, November 10, 2009
11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Pratt Building, Room 120

What it's About

♦ Are you interested in fostering student writing outside the classroom?

♦ Would you like to introduce students to a process whereby they learn to become effective readers and editors of their own and each other’s writing?

♦ Would you like to see and hear from a practicing LIU student writing group?

This workshop is for faculty who would like to sow the seeds of independent student writing groups in their classes as well as for students who would like to start up their own groups. All are welcome to find out how small clusters of students can "workshop" their way together from freshman year to graduation (or for shorter stints, if desired), gaining valuable skills and confidence with peer support (and having fun).

We will discuss how such groups operate and how to form them, as well as
demonstrate workshopping in action by students who have done it successfully in the
past (with a Q & A). Follow-up information and support will be provided.
