Writing History Workshops

WRITING HISTORY, A WORKSHOP SERIES FOR SECOND AND THIRD YEAR UNDERGRADUATES 

The purpose of these workshops is to assist students to become aware of the processes involved in academic and critical writing. Each session will introduce students to a process employed in scaffolding successful academic writing: close reading, note taking, journal keeping, concept mapping, free writing, project drafting, project reviewing and managing the writing project. These workshops will be interactive and will encourage students to discuss writing as a process and to improve their writing skills through workshop exercises.
