Write-to-learn, writing across the curriculum (« WAC »):
This domain took shape in particular in terms of teacher development, in higher education and then in secondary education. That is, WAC is carried out for students through working with faculty. Writing specialists, in particular teacher-researchers, in composition theory began to work with faculty in other domains in order to encourage them to have students write as a way to learn. (see also writing in the disciplines, WiD). WAC activities can include working on paraphrase, note-taking, reading assignments, learning the writing process, one-minute essays, personal journals, reader-response journals, and a multitude of similar activities.
