What can the news, features, essays, interviews, photos, videos, podcasts and graphics in The New York Times teach your students about composing for a real audience? So much, we hope, that the units we detail below are just a beginning.
Our writing curriculum is a road map for teachers as well as an invitation to students. For teachers, it organizes our offerings into eight units, each of which focuses on a different genre or type of composing that your students can find not just in The Times but also in all kinds of real-world sources.
For students, these units offer confirmation that they have something valuable to say, choices about how to say it and a global audience eager to listen. Promoting student voice has always been a pillar of our site, and through the opportunities for publication woven into each unit, we want to encourage students to go beyond simply consuming media to becoming creators themselves.
Though some of the units spotlight mediums like photography or podcasting, writing is at the heart of each one. All our units begin and end with written reflection and depend on writing throughout — to plan and organize, to outline and script, to summarize and process. Increasingly, Times journalists are composing in multimedia, weaving photos, illustrations, video and audio into their written reports. We’re inviting students to do the same.
Finally, though our offerings are aimed at middle school and high school students, we know that they are used up and down levels and across subjects — from elementary school to college. So have a look, and see if you can find a way to include any of these opportunities in your curriculum this year, whether to help students document their lives, tell stories, express opinions, investigate ideas, interview fascinating people or analyze culture. We can’t wait to hear what they have to say!

Module Writing as an Act of Imagination
#teachingwriting #teachingresources Back in 1991, I was working on my dissertation, A Phenomenological Critique of Protocol Analysis in Composing Process Research. For that project, I was reading a lot of phenomenology, including Edmund Husserl, Alfred Shutz, Don Ihde, and Paul Ricoeur. I meant to use those big guns to critique protocol analysis, a research method borrowed from cognitive psychology which involved having a subject…

Here's all about AI Research tools with some thoughts about Bedazzlement in this workshop I ran with Jessica Piazza this week.
If we can't AI-Proof our college writing courses, what can we do? Here's one idea I like from Jeremy Douglass.

Two new posts on Refusing Generative AI in Writing Studies by Maggie Fernandes, Jennifer Sano-Franchini, & Megan McIntyre
"OAQs (Occasionally Asked Questions)" - https://refusinggenai.wordpress.com/oaqs/
"What Is GenAI Refusal?" - https://refusinggenai.wordpress.com/what-is-refusal/

Dan Cryer’s “critical minimal adoption” take on GenAI in writing courses: https://aiminimalist.wordpress.com/
Lots of ideas to consider, including “We should help administrators understand how AI creates more work for teachers, not less.”
I appreciate Matthew Kirschenbaum & Rita Raley’s attention to labor conditions when they write of the burdens that “fall disproportionately on those who may not have the luxury of engaging otherwise: not only those with obscene course loads but also instructors who do not set their own syllabi, writing center tutors, and the staffers in teaching resource centers.”

Jennifer Sano-Franchini, Megan McIntyre, & Maggie Fernandes - "Refusing GenAI in Writing Studies: A Quickstart Guide"
"In short, we demonstrate that our call for GenAI refusal is not uninformed, moral outcry as a result of technological 'aversion,' fear of change, or other so-called 'doom and gloom' views of technological advancement as it is often framed, but rather extends on our disciplinary knowledge in rhetoric, writing, and composition studies, digital rhetorics and literacies, computers and writing, and technical communication."

An introduction for my new instance:
My main interests are written communication, teaching writing, and education, particularly as they relate to productive disagreement explored in various contexts: rhetoric, organizational & workplace communication, organizational learning, training, research, emergent strategy, coalition work, and facilitation.

Freewriting, Blobs, and an Update on AI
Mastodon hashtags: #writingcommunity, #teachingwriting I knew I had written a blog post on AI, but I couldn’t find it here. Then I remembered that it had been posted to the ERWC blog as “What Should English Teachers Do about ChatGPT?'” That was in January 2023. At that time my recommended strategy was “Help students use the tool wisely and effectively.” That is still probably the best advice for now.
