Second Annual Tour of TYCA!
Previous Tour entries
Tour of TYCA showcases TYCA-PNW (October 2012, Des Moines, WA)
· Joy Barber, City College at Montana State University Billings, shares a survey she created for ascertaining students’ “collegiate literacy” and offers strategies for how to develop students’ “collegiate literacy” in writing classes. In addition to a PowerPoint of her project, “Facilitating Collegiate Literacy: Introducing Students to Rhetorical Awareness Utilizing College-Related Texts in the Composition Classroom,” Joy provides several support documents, including the literacy survey she developed.
· Dodie Forrest and Sandy Schroeder, Yakima Valley Community College, share a range of engaging (and ready-to-use) class activities and assignments to accompany the This I Believe texts, a curriculum they have found to work especially well with developmental writers. See the attached packet.
