Room: Cypress Hall room FL2-239 (Reading & Writing Center)This presentation will be divided into two parts: The first part will be a norming session for freshman composition (ENGWR 300). This norming session will review the grading rubric that is supposed to be used for all ENGWR 300 sections offered at FLC. After the rubric is reviewed, sample essays will be analyzed to show how the rubric applies to each essay in determining the essay’s grade. Afterwards, participants in the session will read two or three essays and will use the rubric to determine which grade each essay should receive. The second part will be a general review of writing prompts. This review will offer suggestions on what to include in prompts to try to make assignments clear to students and to tutors working with them in the Reading and Writing Center. This review will also consider ensuring that assignments are appropriate to the course level based on SLO objectives. While the norming session will primarily focus on freshman composition, faculty members from all disciplines are invited. The presentation on prompts will cover a variety of levels, not just freshman level composition. The whole flex presentation (both parts) will be of particular interest to anyone who gives writing assignments that involve analysis, argument, and research.
