In the ‘Writing as a Process’ approach to composition, revision marks a key phase in which students get to the heart of communication: re-envisioning their work for an audience. This session will present approaches to delivering the kinds of strategic, higher-order feedback that empowers students to successfully revise their work and achieve this goal. During the course of the workshop, participants will explore the following topics: establishing the pedagogical/research context and identifying the challenges; interactive writing and debriefing activities; and leveraging technology for feedback. The session will include a facilitated discussion on best approaches for providing feedback to students and extending teachers’ reach in supporting the writing process. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about Writing as a Process through hands-on practice with a standards-aligned instant feedback tool. The goal of the workshop is to map out solutions which give teachers the knowledge and time to teach writing by creating more opportunities for students to write.
