Description
Students are misunderstood. Sometimes you may think students want to avoid hard work, but they really want to avoid busywork. In addition, even if your writing prompts are not busy work, if students think they are, your learners will not be motivated. Attendees of this session will discover best practices for creating motivating writing prompts, share their experiences, and practice implementing best-practice principles in writing prompt design.
