Answer: Students pick
their expected college majors, identify the types of writing in their fields
through questions to college teachers and course descriptions from college
catalogs and on the Internet and analyze these types of writing. For example,
type in “Writing for Physics” in Bing or Google and you will learn what types
of writing assignments will be expected in the field of physics.
Comment: Interesting idea. Students will discover
that the writing formats in their chosen fields has sometimes little in common
with the writing they are taught in English. RayS.

There from Here: Teaching for Transfer Through a ‘Writing about Writing’
