EDU 4106 - Teaching Writing Practicum

Credits: 1
Candidates apply their developing skill in analysis and interpretation of children’s literature to identify mentor texts as models for composing and teaching personal narrative and explanatory informational writing in the elementary classroom. This practicum provides a setting in which candidates plan and teach literature-based craft lessons that address varied disciplines, purposes, genres, and audiences. Candidates will base instructional decisions in their understanding of the elementary student writer, textual, and contextual factors, with the goal of designing the optimal learning context for each writer.
