In this episode, I depart briefly from my series on ROCSS (to which I will return in the next episode) to share a fun experience I had with students today. We used David Perkins and Gavriel Salomon's "detect / elect / connect" framework to find opportunities to use skills from our writing class to assignments in their other classes. Writing courses, really, should be thought of as support for other contexts--they're not an end in themselves. What better way to use the material we have learned about writing than as a means to help students be successful with work they are doing in their other classes? This episode talks through an activity I did with students around "detect / elect / connect" and includes some new insights I gained about their work elsewhere. I'm finding it helpful, as a writing instructor, to know more about what students are actually doing in their classes.
