Intervention success!

Last academic quarter, in Fall 2018, we intervened in a science classroom at the University of Washington. We successfully incorporated communication skills into their science curriculum. Each week, students discussed a new writing topic (sentence structure, use of jargon, etc.) for about 10 minutes in class, read a short description of the topic on their own, and then applied the topic to their own writing during the regular weekly homeworks.

After each week's class session, I shared the topic of the week on my personal blog. You can read those weekly blog posts here and find the entire packaged lesson plan here.
