WRITING"
Summer Course Locations

COURSE
DESCRIPTION (1 graduate credit

The “Open-Response
Writing” workshop focuses on how to design writing lessons, assignments, and prompts that help students
improve the quality of their answers to open or constructed
response questions. The workshop is designed for teachers in all subject areas,
department heads, principals, supervisors, curriculum
committee members, and special educators.
In the workshop, participants
will closely
examine
questions found on state tests and graded student responses.
Teachers will participate in a variety of activities
designed to help their students:
-
“dissect” open-response
questions
-
plan, evaluate, and revise written
responses
-
recognize the importance of content
vocabulary within the response
Other topics include: unit planning with a variety of writing assignments,
designing sophisticated writing prompts according to the new Bloom’s
Taxonomy, and routines for students to follow when
answering open-response questions.
