Shout out to the reader

Dear Reader,

This is a compilation of works done for and by my students in my English 98, introduction to college writing. It's been a great quarter and as one of my past students wrote, "My teacher was never lacking in the area of assigning homework." So thank you to my students for all your hard work.

I've included in my e-portfolios several assignments that I've been proud of: a major writing assignment that I use to instruct students on how to write a persuasion paper, an activity that helped students to learn how to develop an academic voice, a handout on how to hold and prepare for seminar discussions, and finally, a writer's choice, The Inventory of Being, a little exercise in poetic creativity that we used to get to know each other better.

All of these assignments are symbolic of the philosophy behind this class: the need for strong written communication skills, the emphasis on effective writing, the development of critical thinking, and finally, the infusion of fun and creativity that makes it all worth it.

Thanks for taking the time to look at our collective work. Keep going in the write direction!
