Walkthroughs
In this part of this instructor‘s guide, we will walk through each workshop of The Corequisite
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




Support Workbook, providing with you with an overview, strategies for teaching these
j j j j j j j j j j j j




materials, and the answers for each activity. Of course, there isn‘t a right way to teach
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




students in corequisite-supported classes, so this guide will show you some possible
j j j j j j j j j j j j




strategies that you can build upon. We will help you succeed with the over 60 activities in The
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




Corequisite Support Workbook that you can use in your classroom.
j j j j j j j j j j




Something to keep in mind is that students receiving corequisite support are not all the same, j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




and each will benefit from various kinds of activities. One student may need a full introduction
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




to post-secondary education with basic approaches for succeeding in college. The student
j j j j j j j j j j j j




sitting right next to this student may only need a brush-up on sentence writing and perhaps
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




some new techniques for prewriting and drafting.
j j j j j j j




We like to begin with the assumption that all students can succeed in college if they are given
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




the appropriate support and they are motivated to continue their education. Their successes
j j j j j j j j j j j j j




and their struggles are as varied as the students themselves. Your role as an instructor is to
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




facilitate their progress and possibly identify what motivates each of these unique
j j j j j j j j j j j j




individuals. That‘s a tough task.
j j j j j




Admittedly, you won‘t be able to reach all students, even if they have chosen to be in a college j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




course that uses corequisite support. Some of your students, albeit only a few, just aren‘t
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




ready to attend college at this time in their lives. They may be giving college a try because their
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




parents, mentors, advisors, or a coach persuaded them to do so.
j j j j j j j j j j j




Maybe you can ignite a passion for succeeding in college, but don‘t take it as your personal
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




failure if you cannot. Going to college is ultimately something of a choice for each student.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




Attending college is not compulsory like much of their education to this point. There are many
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




paths to success in life, and universities and colleges only offer a few of those paths. You may
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




not be able to reach each and every student in front of you.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j




Before you begin each workshop, look over the walkthrough in this part of the instructor‘s
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




guide. These walkthroughs should help you come up with various ways to reach out to these
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




students in constructive and even fun ways.
j j j j j j j




The Corequisite Support Workbook and Writing Today are designed to work hand in hand.
j j j j j j j j j j j j j




Each workshop in The Corequisite includes a Helpful Hint cross-reference that will help you
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




pair it up with chapters in Writing Today. You can also use the Quick Start Guides in both
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




Writing Today and The Corequisite Support Workbook to help you determine what will fit the
j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j




needs of each of your students.
