Maine Writing Project: Writers as Teachers, Teachers as Writ

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to the principles and practices of the Maine and National Writing Projects. Fellows (i.e., those enrolled as students in the course) are asked to explore and reflect upon the writer’s life as well as promising practices for the teaching of writing. Fellows will read about writing and the teaching of writing and discuss these readings online. Fellows will write both informally and for publication, and by participating in a writing group they will assist each other to develop their writing as well as their philosophy on the teaching of writing.
