These assignments and quizzes come pre-loaded with specific assigned point values. <strong>We recommend changing the point values to match your course design<\/strong>, and particularly <strong>recommend changing the value of the \"Writing Workshop quizzes\" to be worth fewer points <\/strong>(because they are quizzes, they come pre-loaded to 20 points, but they are simple, short quizzes that could be worth 5 points).\r\n\r\nThis course includes a series of assignments associated with most modules, as well as essay assignments that can be included in the course as you see fit. Some instructors assign multiple rhetorical styles, while others scaffold just one or two large essays throughout the course. For this reason, the essay assignments are listed at the front of the course and can be easily moved into the appropriate places within the LMS. The different rhetorical style essays are each split into at least two parts, with one for prewriting and one for the final draft.\u00a0 They could also be combined into one assignment or split into several smaller assignments; for example, you could divide each essay into a prewriting, drafting, and final draft stage (which is how the argument essay is currently organized).\r\n\r\nThe \"Writing Process\u2014Revising and Proofreading\" module also includes a discussion assignment that has students peer review whichever essay is assigned during that module (<a href=\"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/englishcomp1\/chapter\/discussion-peer-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discussion: CARES Peer Review).<\/a>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Narrative Essay<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Compare\/Contrast<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Illustration Essay<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Cause and Effect Essay<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Argument Essay<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe optional \"Essay Reflection\" Assignment can also be paired with any of the rhetorical style essays listed above.\r\n\r\nThe assignments can also be broken down into smaller steps or combined\/simplified as desired. Remember, these can be deleted, modified, or replaced within your LMS to meet the needs of your students.\r\n\r\nEvery Writing Workshop comes with a corresponding assignment in which students can submit the \"Working Document\" they use to work through the content.\r\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 1282px;\" border=\"1\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr style=\"height: 71px;\">\r\n<td style=\"width: 35.363%; height: 71px;\">\r\n<h2><strong>Module<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 97.0161%; height: 71px;\">\r\n<h2><strong>Assignment or Discussion<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr style=\"height: 178px;\">\r\n<td style=\"width: 35.363%; height: 178px;\">\r\n<h2>Narrative Essay<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Works well after rhetorical modules are introduced in the \"Writing in College\" module or alongside \"The Writing Process\" modules.

These assignments and quizzes come pre-loaded with specific assigned point values. <strong>We recommend changing the point values to match your course design<\/strong>, and particularly <strong>recommend changing the value of the &#8220;Writing Workshop quizzes&#8221; to be worth fewer points <\/strong>(because they are quizzes, they come pre-loaded to 20 points, but they are simple, short quizzes that could be worth 5 points).<\/p>\n<p>This course includes a series of assignments associated with most modules, as well as essay assignments that can be included in the course as you see fit. Some instructors assign multiple rhetorical styles, while others scaffold just one or two large essays throughout the course. For this reason, the essay assignments are listed at the front of the course and can be easily moved into the appropriate places within the LMS. The different rhetorical style essays are each split into at least two parts, with one for prewriting and one for the final draft.\u00a0 They could also be combined into one assignment or split into several smaller assignments; for example, you could divide each essay into a prewriting, drafting, and final draft stage (which is how the argument essay is currently organized).<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Writing Process\u2014Revising and Proofreading&#8221; module also includes a discussion assignment that has students peer review whichever essay is assigned during that module (<a href=\"https:\/\/courses.lumenlearning.com\/englishcomp1\/chapter\/discussion-peer-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discussion: CARES Peer Review).<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Narrative Essay<\/li>\n<li>Compare\/Contrast<\/li>\n<li>Illustration Essay<\/li>\n<li>Cause and Effect Essay<\/li>\n<li>Argument Essay<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The optional &#8220;Essay Reflection&#8221; Assignment can also be paired with any of the rhetorical style essays listed above.<\/p>\n<p>The assignments can also be broken down into smaller steps or combined\/simplified as desired. Remember, these can be deleted, modified, or replaced within your LMS to meet the needs of your students.<\/p>\n<p>Every Writing Workshop comes with a corresponding assignment in which students can submit the &#8220;Working Document&#8221; they use to work through the content.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 1282px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 71px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 35.363%; height: 71px;\">\n<h2><strong>Module<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 97.0161%; height: 71px;\">\n<h2><strong>Assignment or Discussion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 178px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 35.363%; height: 178px;\">\n<h2>Narrative Essay<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Works well after rhetorical modules are introduced in the &#8220;Writing in College&#8221; module or alongside &#8220;The Writing Process&#8221; modules.
