How to include a team writing project in your course

A team project approach to writing uses principles of design thinking and agile project management to plan, monitor, and continuously improve the work of writing teams. Including a team writing project in your course supports team productivity by guiding students to focus on high-priority activities. The framework also supports individual learning about course content, discipline-specific writing, and teamwork.
