English 481 addresses four key areas of Writing Studies: how writing is accomplished through situated practices; how writing is read and valued as part of response and assessment practices; how writing shapes, and is shaped by, individual and social development; and how instructional and other activity can shape people?s learning and ability to write. One key goal of the course is to provide a foundation for future teachers of writing (at whatever level). Both theoretical and practical understanding of literate activity in workplaces, communities, and homes is critical to understanding the means, motives, and resources of pedagogy. The course is, therefore, designed to encourage reflective inquiry, synthesis, and application and a number of the activities?in class and out?require active participation.
