Beyond Brainstorming: Activities for the Rest of the Writing Process
Friday, May 6, 2016 at 8:30 AM–9:15 AM EDT
5 Ashland
Abstract
Activities that support skills in the writing process often rely on students’ drafts. What if a student doesn’t have a draft? Participants will experience four independent speaking activities that support the development of ideas, organization, critical thinking, and use of signal words. Participants will leave with ready-made, adaptable activities.
