Active Learning Revision Clinics for the Intensive-Writing Classroom

Abstract

This instructor’s guide provides educators with a series of active-learning-based lesson plans designed to teach concrete revision strategies. These lessons focus on empowering students to become autonomous editors of their own and others’ writing by addressing their skill gaps in identifying weak, underperforming writing and revising it for strategic impact. The lesson plans, templates, and accompanying notes we provide are rooted in active learning pedagogy – the philosophy that students acquire skills more effectively when they engage directly in the learning process in a hands-on way.
