At midterm, ask students to review the work they’ve produced so far and also the handbook being used in class. What errors have they made and what problems have they experienced in their writing that the handbook hasn’t addressed? In small groups, have them share these lists and then as a collaborative project ask students to write material to address these concerns. Share the results with the whole class in order to extend the handbook.
