Revising Writing: How to Do It and How to Teach It
Revising is key to producing effective writing, but it’s hard to do and hard to teach. In fact, more than half of the UMKC instructors who responded to a recent survey by the Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence (CAFE) indicated encouraging revision is the most challenging aspect of teaching writing.
If you need advice about how to revise your own writing and/or help students revise theirs, please join Dr. Marcus Meade for an interactive workshop from 4-5 p.m. Wednesday, April 6, in Zoom. Marcus is the Graduate Writing Specialist and director of the Graduate Writing Initiative at UMKC. For more information about the Graduate Writing Initiative, go to https://www.umkc.edu/asm/writing-studio/graduate-writing-initiative.html
This event is open to all UMKC instructors and graduate students and is sponsored by CAFE and the University Writing and Reading Board (UWRB).
For more information, contact Henrietta Rix Wood, the CAFE Faculty Fellow for Teaching Writing, at woodhr@umkc.edu
We look forward to seeing you at the “Revising Writing: How to Do It and How to Teach It” workshop, 4-5 p.m., Wednesday, April 6.
If you are an instructor, please bring a writing assignment or a writing prompt that you use in your classes to the workshop.
Thanks,
Marcus Meade and Henrietta Rix Wood
