Learning Practices

Writing research is a practice we use to examine how our writing practices, skills, and embodied feelings shape how we write, learn writing, and adapt to writing in particular situations.

Genre research is a practice we use to identify genre conventions (how people write in particular kinds of texts) so that we can create recognizable, effective texts in specific genres.

Content research is a practice we use to find, process, and attribute information we are writing about, including evaluating all information, practicing ethical citation, and recognizing all research as someone’s writing for a particular writing situation.

Participatory assessment is a set of practices we use to identify, describe, and evaluate texts written in particular genres.
