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. |

Mary, Why not call your blocked classes English Language Arts? This is the usual term for those studies which invite students to participate in activities and lessons involving reading, writing, thinking, listening, speaking, and viewing. Communication Arts is an older designation for such classes as speech, debate, theater, and journalism, in my experience. Best of luck, and let us know what you decide.

Box 561 Williamston, MI 48895 517-655-1633 "If education is to be done expertly, it must be done by the teachers themselves who as experts use their own knowledge and understandings to define in particular pedagogic situations the problems that are worth solving and soluble....education cannot be exercised mechanistically or according to prescribed programs and algorithms." (p. 33) Donna H. Kerr in The Ecology of School Renewal, John I. Goodlad, Ed. (1987) **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.
