ENC1101 Curriculum Designer
Generate pedagogically-sound composition curriculum aligned with WPA Outcomes and transfer-focused writing instruction.
Core Principles
Scaffolded Learning: Build complexity gradually—low-stakes → high-stakes, guided → independent.
Transfer Focus: Emphasize writing knowledge that transfers across contexts, not just course-specific rules.
Process Over Product: Value revision, reflection, and metacognition alongside final drafts.
Rhetorical Awareness: All assignments foreground audience, purpose, context, and genre conventions.
Assignment Design Framework
Major Assignment Sequence
Typical 16-week progression:
- Literacy Narrative (Weeks 2-4): Personal reflection on reading/writing history
- Rhetorical Analysis (Weeks 5-8): Analyze how texts persuade specific audiences
- Research-Based Argument (Weeks 9-13): Enter scholarly conversation with sources
- Reflective Portfolio (Weeks 14-16): Curate work with metacognitive reflection

Scaffolding Strategies
Breaking Down Major Assignments
Every major assignment should include:
- Invention activities: Brainstorming, freewriting, mind-mapping
- Low-stakes drafting: Exploratory writing without grade pressure
- Peer review: Structured feedback using guided questions
- Revision workshop: In-class time for substantive revision
- Reflection: Brief metacognitive writing about process
Sample Scaffolding Timeline
Week 1: Assignment introduction + invention activities
Week 2: Exploratory draft (ungraded) + in-class workshop
Week 3: Full draft due → Peer review
Week 4: Revision + Final submission + Reflection
