EDU 5111 - Writing And Critical Thinking

credits: 3.0
This course is designed to assist teachers in middle and secondary schools to develop new emphases in teaching writing by focusing upon critical and analytical thinking skills. Good writing is always preceded by sound, lucid thinking; consequently, this course will stress significance of the “pre-writing phase” of composition (thinking, organizing, free association drills). This course will examine how language functions and why logical thinking is often difficult to master. Teachers will learn methods for helping their students learn to write through developing critical and analytical thinking skills.
