Preface
The Second-Level Writing Handbook is designed to support instructors in the implementation of GEC Second-Level Writing courses throughout the university. The handbook is intended to equip instructors to meet the writing and diversity requirements of a GEC course while addressing content matter pertinent to the discipline that offers the class.
The handbook is divided into sections that represent the major requirements of the GEC Curriculum and the Second-Level Writing Course, including:
Section 1: A general Introduction to the second-level writing requirements.
Section 2: A practical approach to meeting the requirements of “The American Experience”.
Section 3: An overview of Writing Process pedagogy to guide instructor responses to student writing, the implementation of group writing workshops, and a guide to writing revision.
Section 4: An approach to teaching Analysis and Critical Thinking.
Section 5: A guide to provide students with instruction in Speaking and Listening.
Section 6: A guide to available writing Technology that can enhance a course curriculum.
Section 7: An informative section to aid instruction of English as a Second Language (ESL) students.
Section 8: A Syllabus Checklist.
This text represents the continuing work of the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) staff at The Ohio State University Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing (CSTW). WAC scholarship and consultation can contribute to the educational success of instructors and students by using writing and writing instruction as a means of teaching course content in the context of a professional/academic discourse.
Therefore, CSTW’s Writing Across the Curriculum program provides many support services that are free and available to Ohio State University instructors. In addition to this handbook, individual consultations, group workshops, group and class presentations, classroom modeling, classroom observations, curriculum consultation services, and syllabi design support are available.
