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. |

Jim, I've ordered this book and am expecting it to arrive any day. Am wondering if others would be interested in having a discussion. If not, if another book is considered, I am open to reading/discussing an alternative. Cathy In a message dated 6/25/2007 8:04:45 AM Eastern Daylight Time, jimjceleb@aol.com writes: Hello everyone, I have been reading Adolescent Literacy; Turning Promise into Practice edited by Kylene Beers, Linda Rief, and Robert Probst. If there is anyone out there who would like to talk about this book, I am really dieing to discuss it. There is so much in that volume that holds such huge implications for the future of teaching the Language Arts that I really want to find out what others think. I am not the least bit surprised by the richness of the content since anything that seems to carry the names of Beers, Rief and Probst has similiar high quality. Wait until you see the names of the people who have contiributed chapters, then you too willknow how strong this volume is.
