Thinking Through Writing: Using Generative Writing in the English Classroom
Students often see writing as the terminus of thinking rather than its starting point. Writing is something that happens after thinking; it is the solidification of something that has already been considered and deliberated. This workshop offers a different way of thinking about and framing student writing. Rather than a record of thinking, writing is the thinking. Focussing specifically on the English classroom, the workshop will explore a series of practical strategies that teachers can deploy in their own practice, all designed to get students thinking hard through writing.

Secondary Ages (11-18) with a focus on 14-16
