We will cover:

• Elements of an assignment description
• Ideas for scaffolding
• Students’ misconceptions about expectations for writing in disciplines outside of English

During this workshop, you will have the opportunity to apply what you learn to your own writing assignment descriptions. Please bring either an existing assignment you would like to improve or an idea for a new writing assignment you would like to create.

Please feel free to bring your lunch. Beverages will be provided.
