Whose Draft Is It? Co-Creating Revision Practices with Underprepared Writers in First-Year Composition

Friday May 29, 2026 10:00am - 10:20am EDT

Peninsula V

This presentation reconceives revision as an act of authorship rather than correction. Using a constructivist, co-created feedback model and a SWOT-based revision framework, it shows how underprepared writers learn to evaluate, defend, and shape their own rhetorical choices. The session highlights classroom practices that cultivate agency, intellectual risk-taking, and durable writing development.
