  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!)
He could present them with a hypothetical problem or situation and ask the students to write how they would solve it. They could describe the steps of construction that would be needed.
