• Short assignments: The short assignments, like the in-class activities, are a mix of
individual, collaborative, and disciplinary writing activities. We created these
assignments for instructors to use as discrete homework assignments. However, many
are flexible enough to complete in class, or in conjunction with other in-class
activities and short assignments. Note that students will probably turn to the Internet
as a first resort whenever they have homework, making most of these activities de
facto technology assignments.
Finally, a word of encouragement: Teaching writing is difficult and demanding work. It is also
vitally important work. We hope that this manual makes your work easier, and that you’ll find,
as we do, that teaching writing has genuine—and often surprising—rewards.
Best of luck with your classes!

If You Are Teaching a Writing-Intensive Class
Many instructors in disciplines other than English and composition worry that they “don’t know
enough grammar” to teach a writing-intensive course. When you use The Writer’s Handbook in
your writing-intensive class, you don’t need to be an “expert.” Instead, you can refer your
students to the handbook whenever necessary, or use it as a reference yourself when planning
classes, responding to student writing, and designing assignments. When you teach with The
Writer’s Handbook, you have a writing expert at your side whenever you need one—and so do
your students.

students share their experiences. Which of the two technologies did they find more effective for
freewriting? Did one offer any clear advantages or disadvantages?
• Teaching with technology assignment. Provide students with a big subject to consider (e.g.,
sea level rise, cloning, gun control). Have students use different keywords for an internet search,
to narrow the focus of the subject until they have a topic that is manageable in a five- page
academic essay.
• Collaborative assignment. After students have researched their topics, have them compare the
topics they chose (see assignment above). Have students assess one another’s topics. Is each
topic manageable? Are some still
