Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Connect with your state writing projects! You may go to http://www.writingproject.org or directly to the map of sites. http://www.writingproject.org/About/map.csp Writing projects do a lot of good/great stuff to include introducing teachers to Nancie Atwell, Ralph Fletcher and many others. The National Writing Project is well grounded and NOT a canned program. Please check it out and talk to others (many are writing project teacher-consultants on this list).

This year, we will be incorporating writing in our own language arts classes. Has anyone used Nancie Atwell's "Lessons That Change Writers? Does anyone else have any books they recommend, or teaching methods for state assessments? I am going to be teaching 6th graders in preparation for their 7th grade writing assessment. In N.C., they will be writing problem/solution, or evaluative.
