Hi everyone. For next week, please read “Beyond Translingualism” by Jerry Won Lee HERE. We’ll be spending the first half of PD discussing his proposals for assessment and how we might revise them so that they are user-friendly for adjuncts teaching multiple courses. We’ll spend the second half of the session working on commenting on student essays using minimal marking strategies.
We’ll be meeting on Monday March 2 and Thursday March 5
Hello everyone! These are our readings for next time (Thursday Feb 20 and Monday Feb 24). They’re both from BAD IDEAS ABOUT WRITING. Keep in mind the titles are both “bad ideas” which the authors seek to disprove. The first is “Teaching Grammar Improves Writing” and the second is “There is One Correct Way of Writing and Speaking.” We’ll discuss them in depth when we speak. They’re both suitable for students. I’ve attached both below.
The Thursday group will also have a guest speaker, Lubie Alatriste. She’s a linguist, as well as the head of our ELL dept.
Please sign up for the dropbox, which Christine Choi sent you an email about. This will serve as our repository for assignment ideas, unit drafts and a place for you guys to put articles you find useful.
