Thanks to everyone who has been in touch while the university has been closed. Now that we're back to business at UMB, I'd like to ask those of you who haven't yet done so to send me your freewrites (by 6pm today, Thursday) and your preferences for model class teaching. Open dates that remain are: Mar 30, April 6, and April 13.
I have added a short assignment to the syllabus that's due on Feb 2--it's the most efficient way I can think of to make up some of the ground that we missed on Monday. In addition to the Blau/Smith/Scholes readings and the Feed minilesson, please read your classmates’ reflections on an outstanding literature lesson (posted on the class blog: http://engl611s15.blogspot.com/). Pick two that stand out to you, and write some notes on the patterns you discern. How do these lessons connect with—or contradict—key ideas from the Blau/Scholes/Smith readings? This 1-2 page writeup can be in notes or outline form, or it can be more polished if that’s your style. Please email it to me by 10 am on Monday, Feb 2 and bring it to class that evening.
I've revised the syllabus page on the bog to reflect these changes. If you are not planning to remain in the class, please let me know and I will stop sending you email.
See you Monday!
