The Purdue University OWL now offers instructors a selection of interactive PowerPoint presentations on a variety of writing-related topics to be used for class workshops. Each presentation is designed to provide instructors with information about the elements of writing while allowing them to initiate student participation and discussion, adjust their comments to the specifics of class projects, and progress through the program at their own desired pace. Each presentation also contains facilitator notes, de signed to aid instructors through discussion of each topic, and references to supplemental handouts from OWL.
