Technical vocabulary appears in blue italicized text with relevant definitions in floating text. The pedagogical approach embedded in this resource positions writing as a recursive process, and the materials provide opportunities for students to critically reflect on their own writing practices and knowledge-making endeavours in their respective disciplines.
