Extractions: Syllabus EN 400W-01 Maj. Roger Thompson Advanced Composition thompsonrc@mail.vmi.edu Preston 201A 207C LeJeune MWF 10:00 x7057 Course Description : This course assumes that you have 1)a facility with reading and writing as can be expected from having passed EN 101 and 102; 2)a strong desire to improve your writing; 3) a desire to understand theories of reading and writing and how those theories might influence your own writing. I teach the course from a process and revision standpoint, meaning that I firmly believe that reading and writing require extensive practice and reworking. I also believe that writing is a heuristic, meaning that writing is a tool for learning and acquiring knowledge and that certain knowledge is inaccessible except through acts of literacy. I will teach skills that emerge from the discipline of rhetoric but that are applicable to a wide range of fields, including especially English, law, history, and economics, and these skills are essentially a type of critical thinking and assessing that derive only through working with your own literacy. General Class Activity : This course is arranged to provide a new way of reading and writing through a series of building blocks. First, you will assess where you currently stand and build and rebuild a foundation for the coming weeks. Then, you will learn a new set of skills, and you will be asked to rethink some of your initial ideas about reading and writing. Finally, you will use your new skills to produce a collaborative paper with a partner. Each of these 3 general segments will have smaller steps within them, so that you will be working in a systematic fashion toward your final goal.

Joe Glover - Reading And Writing Studio Course a doubleblock period for literacy instruction This includes composition books, folders,reading materials, chart materials (for example, composition books) and http://www.westenskow.net/glover_studio.html
Extractions: Phone: (303) 689-6100 ext. 2215 joe_glover@dpsk12.org Course description The Studios Course is a comprehensive, standards-based literacy course that provides students with in-depth instruction and practice in aspects critical to the reading, writing, and thinking life. The studio course requires a double-block period for literacy instruction. On any given day, students participate in a Writing Studio and a Reading Studio. Divided into three parts, each Studio consists of a focus lesson, a work period, and a closing meeting. Students receive practice and teaching through whole-group instruction, small group meetings, one-to-one conferences, and independent and/or peer-supported practice. The Studios Course consists of four Units of Study and a collection of shorter explorations called investigations. Units of Study (five to six weeks in duration) are in-depth and rigorous inquires into genres, authors, topics, and problems. Surrounding and supporting the Units of Study are the investigations. Investigations focus upon challenges and aspects specific to either the reading or the writing life. Shorter than the Units of Study (usually running one to two weeks in length), Investigations focus, set up, and shape the work of the Writing and Reading Studios and scaffold the intensive inquiry and application of the Units of Study.

Extractions: Helping Your Child With Science March, 1999 (Updated January 2002 ERIC Clearinghouse for Science, Mathematics, and Environmental Education DIGEST Being "scientific" involves being curious, asking how things happen, and learning how to find the answers. Curiosity is natural to children, but they need help understanding how to make sense of what they see. All we need is a willingness to observe and learn with them, and, above all, to make an effort and take the time to nurture their natural curiosity. http://www.pmct.org/ Guidelines and resources presented here are intended to help willing parents nurture interest and success in science among their children. What are Children Learning in Science? Each school has its own science program and expectations, but most are aligned with state curriculum frameworks or guidelines that are, in turn, strongly influenced by national standards. National Standards for Science Education were developed by the National Research Council (see http://www.nas.edu/nrc/ ). The Standards present unifying concepts and processes that pertain to science at all grade levels, as well as specific content standards at each grade range for (a) science as inquiry, (b) life science, (c) physical science, (d) earth and space science, (e) science and technology, (f) science in personal and social perspectives, and (g) history and nature of science. These standards andothers are summarized online in
