- I’m in the process of putting the Ts and Rs on the syllabus into a different color so it is easier to follow, but I’m only doing that after I get this message (that I’ve been trying to send out all day) out to you.
- I’m not abandoning the article thing that I made you locate. Please have selected and read any article on education and be ready to write and talk about it in-class tomorrow.
- Have read “Why Johnny Can’t Write.” Compose a DRAFT first Reading Journal. Be ready to post it to the discussion board for tomorrow’s class. I will open the discussion board up this evening, but don’t post until class time tomorrow. I want to do an exercise in class before you post (this is due to what we didn’t do in class on Tuesday).
- Please, also, remember to google that phrase “why Johnny Can’t. . . “ it might also be “why Jane can’t” or it might be, say, “why American College students can’t”. It’s the why/can’t phrasing that I want to talk about.
And, finally, keep those 200 word bios coming (not .PDFed) and your pic/image/meme to represent you (not your interview partner). Thanks to those of you who have already sent. And I’ll see all of you tomorrow for class.
