Authentic Writing in Education

Allie Wolf

Writing curriculum and instruction in the United States is deeply formulaic in reaction to demands of high stakes testing and No Child Left Behind legislation. Alternatively, authentic writing asks students to write for impact with real world purposes beyond the classroom. This first year seminar will support your transition to college while also introducing you to the application of authentic writing instruction in education. This course will culminate in an individualized authentic writing project of your own design.
