Exploring Threshold Concepts Discussion Essay Project

The threshold concepts of writing in Writing about Writing apply to all kinds of writing– academic writing and all the writing you do beyond the classroom. This assignment helps you analyze how threshold concepts are at play in previous writing situations and think about how your knowledge of threshold concepts can inform (and improve) your writing in the future. The assignment also demonstrates your ability to develop a clear focus, present your analysis in an organized way, engage other points of view about writing, and use the conventions of academic writing.

Prompt

Review the major concepts from WAW and the writing you’ve done this term (in this class and outside of it). How do you see these threshold concepts in your past writing experiences? How do you see the threshold concepts from WAW in your more writing experiences of the last few months? How have they changed your view of writing? How might that affect how you approach writing in the future? Choose one or two threshold concepts and explore how they apply to your own experiences as a writer.
