Objectives
In completing these writing assignments, students will:
Learn background knowledge and facts related to language disorders in children.
Make a connection with the content material.
Have multiple opportunities to practice writing in the discipline (using new vocabulary and technical terminology) in a low-stakes manner.
Consider writing for a specific audience and the adjustments in writing necessary to meet audience’s needs/expectations.
Systematically edit writing with an eye toward developing professional writing style.
Procedure
Write a two to three-paragraph summary of the assigned reading/viewing material, followed by a two to three-paragraph reflection that includes comment, observation, reflection, and/or question about the reading.
Submitted work should be four to six paragraphs in length.
Submissions should reflect the fact that you’ve read/viewed the assigned material, summarized the key points, thought about it, and linked it back to something you have previously learned or experienced – in school or in life beyond the classroom.
The first two to three paragraphs should summarize the assigned reading/viewing.
The next two to three paragraphs should indicate that you thought about the reading and should start with something like, “I found it interesting that…,” “I have a question about…,” “________ in this reading made me think about…,” “I would like to learn more about…,” “________ made me wonder…” or something similar.
Reflections receiving full credit must go beyond a summary of the assigned material.
What you write should reflect the fact that you’ve read the chapter, thought about it, and tied it back to something you have previously learned or experienced. Your reflection should indicate that you thought about the reading and could start with:
I found it interesting that…
I have a question about…
________ in this reading made me think about…
