SWAP - Student Writing Analysis Project
3. Write a reflective essay (approach to teaching writing, unit overview, lesson sequence)
Use what you learned (and posted) while following SWAP database paths to
Outline a coherent approach for using the strategies we addressed to teach secondary writing across
genres and academic disciplines
Design an overview for an interdisciplinary unit plan focused on multi-genre research writing
Develop a lesson sequence (at least three consecutive lessons) to be used during the teaching of this
unit
4. Apply course readings or your own research to interpreting the student writing samples/feedback
Use what you learned from the previous steps or from other sources to annotate, analyze, and interpret at
least three pieces of the student writing you initially collected; include these with/in your write-up.
Please also include and interpret:
Contextual information about the implementation of the assignment; include with your analysis any
supporting materials (assignment sheets, handouts, drafts) that explain why/how you responded this
way to these three students.
Annotations about the student writing and your feedback. You may wish to use one of the annotation
tools we have already discussed (e.g, MS Word comments, Adobe pdf sticky notes, Diigo comments).
Your annotations should apply course reading/research concepts to interpretation of your writing
instructional practices.
