Powered by Connect Composition 2.0, WRITING MATTERS helps students
own their ideas and put responsible writing into practice. Through
a focus on student responsibilities to other writers, to the topic,
to the audience, and to themselves, the program helps students
better understand reasoning, researching, documentation, grammar,
and style.
WRITING MATTERS eBook. The CONNECT COMPOSITION PLUS 2.0 eBook
provides Writing Matters content in a digital format that is
accessible from within Connect and Blackboard. In support of the
engaged learning experience, students can link directly to
activities and assignments within CONNECT from the eBook. Students
can have all the resources from Writing Matters right on their
desktops
NOTE: There are two Connect Composition Plus available for Writing
Matters. One for the Comprehensive edition and one for the Tabbed
edition.
Personal Learning Plan (PLP) Through an intuitive, continually
adaptive diagnostic that assesses proficiencies in five core areas
of grammar and mechanics, students generate a personalized learning
plan tailored to address their needs within the timeframe students
determine what they want to study. The personalized program
includes contextualized grammar and writing lessons, videos,
animations, and interactive exercises and provides immediate
feedback on students' work and progress.
Based on metacognitive learning theories, the PERSONAL LEARNING
PLAN continually adapts with each interaction, while built-in time
management tools keep students on track to ensure they achieve
their course goals. The Personal Learning Plan is designed to
improve student writing, allow classroom instruction to focus on
critical writing processes, and support the goals of writing
programs and individual instructors with reports that present data
related to progress, achievement, and students who may be at risk.
Writing Matters unites research reasoning, documentation, grammar,
and style into a cohesive whole, helping students see the
conventions of writing as a framework of responsibilities. The
responsibilities writers have...
-to other writers. Writing Matters clarifies the responsibility
writers have to one another - whether they are collaborating in an
online peer review or drawing on digital and print resources in a
research project - to treat information fairly and accurately and
to craft writing that is fresh and original - their own.
-to the audience. Writing Matters stresses the importance of using
conventions appropriate to the audience, to write clearly, and to
provide readers with the information and interpretation they need
to make sense of a topic.
-to the topic. Writing Matters emphasizes the writer's
responsibility to explore a topic thoroughly and creatively, to
assess sources carefully, and to provide reliable information at a
depth that does the topic justice.
-to themselves. Writing Matters encourages writers to take their
writing seriously and to approach writing tasks as an opportunity
to learn about a topic and to expand their scope as writers.
Students are more likely to write well when they think of
themselves as writers rather than as error-makers.
By explaining rules in the context of responsibility, Writing
Matters addresses composition students respectfully as mature and
capable fellow participants in the research and writing process.
