Writing and Experiential Education
Product Description
“Through writing, students are able to clarify their own understanding and answer resounding questions not only about specific experiences but also, ultimately, about a part of their life or the larger world.”
Rapparlie has given us a very creative and practical bridge to connect writing and experiential education. The simple theoretical foundation and helpful examples and insights will inspire educators to integrate experiential writing techniques into any educational environment. The easy-to-use, engaging activities and lessons clearly illustrate how writing can be used to allow students to reflect on lessons learned and deepen learning around any material.
“Writing and Experiential Education offers instructors the unique opportunity to explore the relationship between concrete experiences and abstract writing practices. It highlights the importance of differentiating the presentation and explanation of subject matter not only to meet the needs of students, but also to grow their confidence as writers.” Molly Cummings, Ed.M., English Teacher, Boston, MA
“A must-have, go-to guide for any teacher who is looking to improve writing education. 21st Century classroom instruction for adolescents demands creativity, flexibility, and authenticity. Rapparlie makes experientialism’s link to writing clear in these detailed step-by-step lesson plans for thinking and learning—adding depth to any progressive educator’s repertoire.” Amelia Menut Duffy, English Teacher and Literacy Specialist
“Rapparlie’s approach highlights the experiential nature of learning to write and gives teachers ideas they can use in their own classrooms for engaging students with the writing process. The experiential paradigm that informs all of her activities becomes a powerful model for designing original classroom activities that fit your topic. In this way Rapparlie not only gives you some nice lures to help hook your students on the writing process, she also teaches you to fish so you can design a curriculum specifically angled to the stream of knowledge that flows through your class.” Michael Goeller, Associate Director, Rutgers University-New Brunswick Writing Program
