Well it's official. I'm in planning mode for the fall. Yesterday I
reserved the rooms for the Composition Conversations. They will be held
every Wednesday from 12noon until 1pm in Lytle 207. While the first
meeting is generally introductory, if anyone has any ideas of topics
they would like to cover over the course of the semester, I'm all ears.
Also, I've made copies of several articles for the Composing reading
group and placed them in a 3-ring binder in the mailroom. Anyone is
free to take a look at them and make suggestions about the order of the
readings over the course of the semester. Most of the articles are also
available on eReserve (see link on this blog)...the remained of the
articles should be available on eReserve by the end of July.
I am also planning a meeting the week before the semester begins for all
new and returning faculty who are teaching ENG 022, Introduction to
College Composition in the fall. Linda Cullum will be helping out with
this meeting and bring some suggestions for assignments and exercizes
that may be useful for those new to 022.
On another note, I've gone a little blog happy. I've created blogs for
all my courses and just loaded a new English Department News blog this
morning. At the very least, these blogs will provide some useful sites
for the Blog project Aaron and I (and Jen??) will be undertaking this
fall.
