Online (limited enrollment). Professor Warnick. Meets at the College of Charleston. (Counts as an elective)
In this course, you will develop a critical language for understanding writing as a social and rhetorical activity by learning current theories concerning the writing process, genre, language difference, literacy, identity, and other writing-related issues. You will learn important pedagogical approaches toward teaching writing, including Writing about Writing (WAW) and Teaching for Transfer (TFT), that are used in first-year writing programs at The College of Charleston and across the country. Most importantly, you will draw on what you learn in the class to design an online teaching portfolio—consisting of a teaching philosophy, syllabus, sample assignments and activities, philosophies of response, and other materials—that could be used as part of an application to teach writing at the college level and elsewhere.
