Why these genres? The range of genres or forms of writing in which you will engage and practice is too extensive to list in its entirety and depends, to a significant extent, on your chosen concentration within the major. Having said this, we offer a few examples of the writing students do in different concentrations below. Within the creative writing concentration students practice the writing skills that inform key literary genres such as fiction, poetry and nonfiction.
Within the professional writing concentration, students produce reports, proposals, analysis papers, research papers and various digital and multimodal texts. Students in each concentration must take courses in the other concentrations, so they will range outside the genres described above to experiment with and practice a variety of academic, creative and professional genres of writing. What kinds of teaching practices will you encounter in your WID courses?
We will engage you in scaffolded writing assignments that initially include low-stakes or informal writing to help you make sense of challenging readings and materials; in this way you write to learn as you learn to write. You will also practice key moves in lower stakes writing assignments that inform higher stakes writing projects for midterm papers and final projects.
Small group workshops and tutorials are a regular part of our practice and provide crucial feedback for effective writing. In virtually all of your courses we provide models and exemplars of the work we ask you to produce. We often hold one-on-one conferences to guide you in individual challenges and difficulties.
In sum, we engage in the full-range of practices that research in the teaching and learning of writing has shown helps students learn to write well.
