In this course, we will explore a core set of questions that inform the teaching of writing in middle- and high-school: Why teach writing? What is academic writing good for? Is there such a thing as good writing? Are phones good writing machines? Do writing pedagogies privilege certain people? This course is designed with future language arts teachers in mind, so you'll complete the class ready to: design compelling assignments that challenge your students, respond effectively to student writing, create thoughtful writing assignments, support various forms of multimodal writing, and work with writers who challenge what you know and how you think. Students who take this class should be prepared to question how you were taught to write in school. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
