Out of either laziness or incredible wisdom, I'm posting notes on things I taught in the past. Really this is just a collection for me to pull from as I'm working on the chapter. It's likely that none of it will make sense to you. So move along if you're easily confused.
First, it's always fun to go through a folder and find things you've written and don't remember, especially when you also didn't post them online or publish them anywhere.
- Making Decentered Discussions More Comfortable for ESL Students
- Using Active Techniques in Online Discussions
- Some unnamed draft of tips on using online discussion tools.
Now on to the various notes from my FYC teaching folder:
- Writer Analogy (already a RWT lesson)
- CSI/Detective Questionnaire (for descriptive paper I think)
