How To Encourage Students To Start Writing

This workshop will provide teachers with an opportunity to discuss the creation of effective pre-draft activities and assignments that will help students get started on their writing assignments. We’ll discuss brainstorming, organizing, and drafting prompts to help students address common responses to writing assignments like writing anxiety, procrastination, and writer’s block. Faculty in all disciplines are invited and welcome.
