A Writing Consultant can visit your classroom to talk with students about Studio services or to guide students in a brief writing exercise. Please choose one of the following formats:
| Concentrated Presentation |
Standard Presentation |
Workshop Presentation |
5 – 10 minutes
- Brief class discussion on how the Writing Studio can help with writing
- Explanation of consultation sessions
|
15 – 20 minutes
- Directed group reflection on students’ writing practices and habits
- Group writing exercise emphasizing an invention or revision technique
Please note: Presentations that incorporate an invention exercise should be timed to coincide with the distribution of a course assignment. Alternately, presentations that incorporate a revision exercise should be timed so that students will have drafted work to bring to class.
- Explanation of consultation sessions and other Writing Studio services
|
25 – 40 minutes
- In-class workshops involve collaboration between the course instructor and a Writing Consultant to determine how best to address a particular writing concern in relation to specific course material. In-class workshops are designed to consume no more than half of a course period, so that instructors can follow up on a consultant’s presentation during the remaining class time.
- Frequently requested topics include:
- Academic Voice
- Research Papers
- Organization
- Revision
- Thesis Statements
- Topic Sentences
- Comparative Essays
- In-class writing workshop request requirements:
- Workshops must be requested at least one full week before the requested date in order to allow writing studio staff enough time to prepare the workshop.
- Instructors must be willing to meet with a representative of the writing studio before the workshop so that the workshop can be tailored to the particular needs of the instructor. Meetings typically take no more than 30 minutes.
