    “Getting to Green”: Developing Analysis with Generative AI

    No full text
    Students in analytical writing courses can struggle to fully grasp the difference between observing/describing features of a text and making interpretive claims rooted in close reading and analysis of those features. This multi-part class activity uses color coding and generative AI to establish a clearer framework for students to understand the relationship, as well as the critical distinctions, between observation or description and close reading or analysis. It also helps students identify the affordances and limitations of generative AI in helping them iterate, analyze, produce, and revise writing, as well as models for them strong iterative writing practices, including identifying areas/opportunities for revision and articulating strategies and next steps to pursue revision

    Revision Portfolio - Capstone Writing Assignment

    No full text
    Intensive-writing classes ostensibly focus on teaching students how to write in the disciplines and tend to have two requirements: minimum word count (5K or so) and a formal revision of at least one paper. Instructors specializing in writing pedagogy know, however, that students writing more doesn't translate to students writing *more effectively*. Indeed, it can have the reverse effect. Emphasis on quantity reinforces poor writing habits developed in K-12 where students thought (incorrectly, but rewarded nonetheless) that they must "pad" their writing to meet requirements. In my approach to writing instruction, I help students find joy and power in approaching revision like a Rubik's Cube -- ruthlessly reconfiguring to find the most elegant formulation. Shifting the emphasis from "writing" to "revising" unlocks my students' growth and confidence. They realize "good writing" isn't born but made (and remade). The capstone project, then, needs to feature, evaluate, and reward this skillset. Typically, a portfolio features writing, not revision (i.e. products, not process). The "Revision Portfolio" I've designed shifts the focus by asking students to showcase their process, articulate their choices, and identify their *learning.* After several semesters using this assignment, I've found students consistently leave my intensive-writing course feeling more confident as writers and with an increased ability to identify and articulate the skills (and learning outcomes) they’ve developed

    Prose Fiction: An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative

    No full text
    Prose Fiction: An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative is an open-access textbook that introduces readers of fiction to its underlying semiotic principles. The text was originally published by Ignasi Ribo for students in a 300-level literature course. As an open access text, it has been adapted into this modified version by two additional authors, Miranda Rodak and Ben Storey, to address 200-level literature students entering the "Introduction to Fiction" course at Indiana University

    Generative AI Writing Course Framework

    No full text
    A lesson plan outlining a two-part activity that establishes a framework within which students productively wrestle with the place of generative AI in their learning and writing processes, thereby creating the space for instructor and students to arrive at a collective agreement about the use of these tools in the course grounded in a clear set of shared values and principles that meaningfully frames the forthcoming work. This activity works best early in the term (for instance, Week 1) before any significant out-of-class writing has been assigned. It not only helps build parameters that pedagogically and practically support students in their course writing but also helps build a sense of community in the classroom. It also models the intellectual moves we want students to make as critical readers and analytical writers

    Essay Drafting Process

    No full text
    For many undergraduates, the drafting process is a mystery. While they understand they should take an essay through multiple rounds of drafting, they often feel unsure about what--specifically--they should be doing in each round of drafting. Too often, they try to write the whole essay in "one go" and then only return in subsequent rounds of drafting to tweak around the edges. This infographic--created for non-English-majors taking an intensive-writing, intro to fiction course--offers students a discrete series of steps that guide them in building and refining an essay across stages of drafting
