About this episode
Julie Walker discusses the concept of integrating writing into all subjects to enhance learning and critical thinking.
What if writing weren't a separate subject, but the foundation for all learning? Julie Walker from the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) unpacks the power of "writing across the curriculum", an approach that moves beyond isolated grammar instruction and weaves writing into every subject. By using history, science, and literature as the foundation for their writing, students can bypass writer's block and engage in deeper critical thinking and greater content ownership.
