- Title
Redesigning Writing Outcomes.
- Authors
Leverenz, Carrie S.
- Abstract
This article responds to the July 2014 revision of the WPA Outcomes Statement for First-Year Composition by arguing that the inclusion of multimodal composing offers an opportunity to shift our focus from teaching the standards of academic writing to preparing students for a future of writing characterized by multiplicity and change. Through a close reading of the revised Outcomes Statement, I demonstrate the ways in which the WPA OS recognizes that digital tools have expanded the text forms, writing processes, and conventions students will engage with in composition classes. I then argue that this attention to different modes of writing can encourage students to value difference more broadly.
