Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

Interns work with elementary school children, usually in the fourth and fifth grade, on thinking and writing strategies. Specific projects taken up in classes include organizing debates among students on contemporary issues, writing argumentative essays, and analyzing the persuasive techniques used in advertising. Interns spend several hours per week in their classes and attend biweekly internship meetings. Meetings will be scheduled at a mutually convenient time. Academic credit for the internship is based on a satisfactory report from the supervising teacher, participation in internship meetings, and a final paper which describes and reflects on the intern's classroom activities and examines the connections between those activities and selected readings.
