CHEP online workshop: Opening academic 'skills' windows in your teaching: 3 short activities on essays
Wednesday 13th December 2023, 12:00pm
Our students have diverse backgrounds and educational experiences. As a result, providing opportunities or “windows” for students to practice degree-level academic skills before assignments is useful (Wingate, 2016).
This session will provide 3-4 (depending on time) fairly short activities to develop your students’ argumentation and structuring skills for essay writing. The aim is provide you with frameworks for activities which you can repeatedly adapt and use, with minimal preparation, during your lectures/seminars.
To get the most from the session, participants should think of a few essay questions from their subject area. If possible, they could also bring a journal article which might be relevant to the essay question, and an example of a ‘good’ student essay in this topic area.
Participants are welcome to share short
extracts (e.g. an essay question and a paragraph) with the facilitator
in advance of the session to help make the session more relevant.
