I really enjoyed the Post-Process pedagogy article. What I am taking away from it to incorporate into my classroom in particular is the idea of writing being public, and that there is not just one process that can be taught to writers.

For the public nature, I intend to do frequent group work and peer reviews of the classroom writings produced. I want each major assignment to be read by the class, either a small group of peers, or discussed in front of the class in a sort of workshop style. Next year, in TOPIC, I think I will ask my students to bring their .3 and 1.1 assignments into class and provide commentary on their classmate's work. How this will work exactly does depend on the assignments.

As far as processes go, I want to introduce multiple types of process into my classroom. For example, I want to show the students the traditional outline process and web processes. I want to do some more reading about the various kinds of processes before the start of the semester so I will have more concrete ideas of how I can bring this in.

Overall, for me, I think the post-process pedagogy article has been one of, if not the, most influental article we've read all semester.
