Writer As Reader: Discovering New Ways into the Text
Friday, October 25, 2024
9:30 am – 4:00 pm EDT/GMT-4
Writer as Reader workshops model writing practices that inspire students to read more carefully, grasp meaning in complex texts, and build understanding through collaboration. These workshops invite secondary and college teachers to consider “writing to read” as a central classroom practice. Using diverse writing-to-read strategies, workshop participants explore their individual perspectives, consider what is apparent and what is inferred, and attend to the questions posed by the text.This year, IWT’s Writer as Reader workshops will be held on Friday, October 25, 2024. The reading lists feature novels, poetry, nonfiction, historical documents, plays, and parables. Each workshop will highlight strategies that foster close reading and help readers develop an appreciation for the connections between different but related texts. Writer as Reader workshops emphasize the pedagogical value of teaching texts that are unfamiliar to students, prompting them to read closely and critically with attentiveness and an open mind.
IWT can also bring a Writer as Reader workshop to your school. If you are interested, please contact Deputy Director Michelle Hoffman (845-758-7432 or [email protected]) or Project Manager Rebecca Chace (845-758-7544 or [email protected]).
