Office Hours: Tuesdays, 6-7, Wednesdays, 6-7. (703) 993-2762. jhenry@gmu.edu In this section of 611 we will study a variety of rhetorics, our goal being to equip you as a professional writer, creative nonfiction writer, writing teacher, or literature scholar with new strategies and repertoires for composing. We will begin with selected texts from classical rhetoric, then read weekly texts representing rhetorics of persuasion, narration, "exposition," collaboration, and digital composition. Inquiry into each rhetoric will be both theoretical and practical, i.e., you will be expected both to reflect upon and to "enact" each rhetoric weekly in postings to our web discussion forum (Townhall) and in occasional hard-copy writing to be photocopied for classmates. The course will include two major writing projects: (1) a self-literacy analysis, based on weekly journal entries (SLJ), these postings to Townhall, and our class discussions, and (2) a term project that charts your newfound composing strategies and repertoires, aiming for immediate or long-term practical applications. These projects may be conducted collaboratively, if you desire. The term projects will be presented in hyptertext format (which you will learn during the weeks on digital rhetorics) and linked to one another on the web from our virtual syllabus. Don't be intimidated if you have no experience with hyptertextsÑwe will draw on our collective knowledge to help everyone achieve a level of expertise sufficient to post the term project.

Extractions: Homework Pack Assignment Homework is a traditional part of most school experiences. While it is not uniform in its application, and not accepted as necessary by all teachers and parents, you may, as a teacher, be required to provide homework experiences for your students. This assignment will help you develop options for dealing with homework. For this project you will be developing a themed pack of books and materials, which will serve as a weeks worth of homework for a child in the primary grades. In addition to the bag and its contents you will need a 3-5-page paper that explains why you selected the theme, and your rationale for the contents. Include a list of the contents in your paper, which you will need to make available to your classmates electronically. Here is the description of such a project by the teacher who developed it. I don't believe in homework for elementary school children. However, our school improvement plan requires homework for every grade level. Here is my solution: I send home a "literacy bag" every Tuesday. These are similar to the bags available from Child craft (very expensive), but I have made them myself with the help of a friend who has had grandchildren in my class for the past 3 years. She makes the bags from colorful "themed" fabric. I match up books with stuffed animals, puppets, card games and other activities. Then I type and laminate a card with ideas for things to do related to the book. The bag also contains a composition book for parent comments. Sometimes parents add more activities to the bags. A few bags include cheap cassette players with headsets ($5.00 at Big Lots) and taped reading of the books or music that is related. For example, a whale themed bag includes a Raffi tape with "Baby Beluga." Some bags have only one book - others have several books on the same topic. Sometimes I pair a fiction book with a related non-fiction book.

Language Arts Teacher selects students to contribute to the class composition. of the reasoninginvolved in reading (thinking a significant part of a balanced literacy program http://www.topsfieldschools.org/CURRICULUM K-6 LANGUAGE ARTS.htm
Extractions: The Topsfield Public Schools Language Arts Curriculum provides the foundation for lifelong literacy and focuses on the acquisition of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. In the primary grades our emphasis is on learning to read. As children develop competencies and become more literate, they shift from learning to read to reading to learn. Teachers incorporate a variety of teaching strategies. A balanced literacy program addresses phonemic awareness, phonics, word analysis, and decoding skills, vocabulary development, comprehension, and the motivation to read. Instruction is centered on effective problem solving and metagcognitive strategies (making connections, predicting, questioning, visualizing, inferring, determining importance, synthesizing, rereading, and slef-correcting) so that students gain true comprehension of what they read. In kindergarten, students begin to develop competencies in language arts as they are exposed to a print-rich environment and a curriculum that emphasizes oral language skills. Children learn how to take words apart and put sounds together (phonemic awareness) through interaction with a variety of materials from familiar songs, rhymes, verses and literature representing various genres and cultures.

Extractions: Section 3: Appendices The Framework for teaching sets out teaching objectives for Reception to Year 6 to enable pupils to become fully literate. It also gives guidance on the Literacy Hour in which this teaching will take place. Detailed guidance on the implementation of the hour will be sent to schools in the summer term (1998). This document is mainly intended for day-to-day reference for classroom teachers to ensure that they have appropriately high expectations of their pupils, understand how their pupils will progress through the years at primary school and to help them offer a balance between reading and writing and different kinds of texts. Good school leadership is vital for teachers to be successful in the classroom. This Framework will be an important tool for headteachers and governors as they manage the improvement of literacy standards, particularly in developing a whole school plan for the teaching and learning of literacy, for monitoring progress and for staff development. Parents may also be interested to read the Framework. This Framework and the training that will be provided in the National Literacy Strategy are based on the experience of the National Literacy Project. The Literacy Task Force found widespread support for the Project's approach to teaching literacy and its success in raising standards. Its proposals sought to spread this good practice as widely as possible.

Reading, Writing, And Understanding // Vicki A. Jacobs In J. Shimron (Ed.), Education and literacy (pp Research on written composition Newdirections for teaching IL ERIC Clearinghouse on reading and Communication http://www.ascd.org/publications/ed_lead/200211/jacobs.html
Extractions: Reading, Writing, and Understanding Secondary school teachers are more willing to integrate reading and writing strategies in their content-area instruction when they see how these strategies can support their goals for students' understanding. Vicki A. Jacobs At about the 4th grade, students begin using these early reading skills to learn. Reading-to-learn is a matter of meaning-making, problem-solving, and understanding. The process through which students come to understand something from a text is called comprehension Frequently, a struggling secondary reader will come to class and say, "I read last night's homework, but I don't remember anything about it (let alone understand it)!" How successfully students remember or understand text depends, in part, on how explicitly teachers have prepared them to read it for clearly defined purposes. Prereading activities can include brainstorms, graphic organizers of students' background knowledge (using concept maps, clusters, or webs), or cloze exercises (during which students attempt to replace important vocabulary or concepts that the teacher has deleted from the text in order to draw attention to those points). In addition, the teacher or students may develop questions, through directed writing or interactive discussions, such as, "What do I already know and what do I need to know before reading?" or "What do I think this passage will be about, given the headings, graphs, or pictures?" (Jacobs, 1999, p. 4; 2000, p. 38). Such prereading activities not only prepare students to understand text but also help build their vocabulary and study skills.
