Case: Writing Across the Curriculum
A high school implemented a school-wide goal this school year to include a writing assessment in every course within every unit of study. A construction teacher is frustrated because he does not understand how to implement this goal within his classroom. Most of the learning in his class happens through hands-on labs where students are building things. How can this teacher successfully implement meaningful writing within his curriculum that the students will take seriously?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Writing can and should be encouraged in all classrooms. I know at my school even the PE department requires the students to write. The construction teacher could offer a writing option of comparing and contrasting different construction methods. He could also have his students write an expository essay on how to create a project--that would be a great step by step paper. The teacher could also use these step by step instructions for other classes to use. If you make it interesting and relating to what they are doing in class, the students will be engaged. When they see their papers being used, it will give them a sense of pride. |

| Comments: I like your feedback on creating a step by step paper in a construction class. Students would enjoy doing this because it would give them some freedom to explain how something should be built. High school students would definitely enjoy the sense of pride they felt by another class creating their project. I also like the feedback of comparing and contrasting different construction methods. Students could then have a class debate on which processes would be better. |
