No matter what course you teach, you will always teach writing (unless you are an acting teacher, I guess) and at least one learning goal has to focus on helping students express their thinking about their course of study well...and in writing. To reach that goal, you'll need writing activities and a plan for strengthening the writing skills of your students throughout the semester. This book will take any instructor from any discipline through the process of incorporating more and better writing assignments/activities in a classroom, categorizing them by the type of skill represented. Necessary chapers--engaging all learners, dealing with grammar issues, how to design types of assignments, and how to coach students toward your ideal vision of writer. Definitely read this book before planning (or when revising) your course. ( )
