Bedford Bits: Ideas for Teaching Composition

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:51:08 -0700

Three to five posts a week. Adjunct advice about everything from making ends meet to creating assignments to getting and keeping a job. Superb advice from Traci Gardner about teaching with technology in the classroom to keep material fresh and lively. Barclay Barrios's tips range from concise to detailed, but always remain practical and purposeful. The Teaching Poetry series brings diversity with a flavor of literature amid composition themes.

Strong and readable advice for high school English teachers. Jodi Rice's posts are always thoughtful and well-written. Other authors are great too.

ARGs and coporate funding as the new high-bred literature? Quite possibly.

A blog series about integrating technology into the lives of editors, writers, and readers in practical ways. A forum through which voices of the literate and literary can question the publishing process and demand change.

Posted on "Our Latest Discovery: A Whatis.com blog". Funny. Too bad no one's found the original author! Kudos for admitting the repost, though!

Interesting, up-to-date, relevant, fun. What more could you ask from Master's students in Emerson College's Writing, Literature and Publishing department? If you're young in publishing and in Boston, it's a great resource!

I love the phrase, "scientific and policy literacy." This whole article is a well-positioned discussion about the way scientific findings are reported to the public and the ways the scientific community is battling "whiplash" reactions to new findings. It's also a wake-up call to the general public reminding us all that we need to carefully consider all possible sources when reading the news.
