One ideas that has
struck me most through the nature of this course is the questions of how we can
make connections between writing and math. Throughout my own educational career,
I have struggled with math. I can easily say that I can call it my “worst
subject” and it has felt that way for as long as I can remember. English,
however, I have always enjoyed. Looking at the contrast between my experiences
with both of these very different subjects I find myself wishing a more
cross-curricular approach had been assumed. If writing had been incorporated
into some of my past math classes I feel as though I would have found the
subject more enjoyable as a whole. Reflecting back on my own experiences truly
highlights the importance of incorporating writing tasks into a variety of
different courses. If this approach is taken, we can increase the opportunity
for success amongst many of our students.

Welcome to my blog!
The following space is dedicated to the exploration of implementing writing across the curriculum. In the subsequent months I will be chronicling my experiences in PED 3148, Teaching Writing Across the Curriculum, a course dedicated to discovering strategies relevant to our future practice teaching writing. By exploring different strategies through research and collaboration, writing can be applied to a variety of subject matter; from a standard English classroom or a Math or Science course. Here’s to a journey dedicated to learning and discovery!
