Arguably, teaching and assessing writing is one of the most difficult tasks educators attempt in the history classroom. Most recently that task has been complicated by the introduction of openly accessible AI writing tools. As a result, teachers might find it harder to make a case for writing assessments in their classes, but few are ready to let go of writing as a central part of a history student’s education. This workshop aims to engage a panel of educators and the audience in a conversation on teaching writing in the history classroom. The workshop will begin with a short panel discussion, during which the workshop facilitators share their approach to teaching and assessing student writing in their curricula. The bulk of the time will be reserved for participants to discuss their practice in small groups; to share advice and frustrations; and to workshop assessment prompts, rubrics, and other grading strategies. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring examples of writing assignments and student samples to the workshop. Participants who sign up for the workshop through meeting registration and submit assignments, student samples, and/or rubrics by December 1 will be listed as session participants in the online program. Workshop organizers will contact registered participants with information on how to submit materials.
