Abstract This article represents what I would call a Defense and Illustration of MOOBased English Pedagogy. After giving a brief http://english.ttu.edu/kairos/1.2/coverweb/Harris/contents.htm

WRITING SPACES: USING MOOs TO TEACH COMPOSITION AND LITERATURE Abstract: This article represents what I would call a Defense and Illustration of MOO-Based English Pedagogy . In order to prove that MOOs can be serious, effective environments for the teaching of English, I discuss how I have used Diversity University MOO in English composition and literature courses. After giving a brief introduction to the MOO as a writing environment, I describe one way I have used DU MOO in my composition classes. In several classes of first-semester composition, I have paired my students with peers at another college campus, holding synchronous class meetings on DU MOO. Since writing becomes the primary means of communicating with a synchronously present audience, students learn that writing is an important, powerful acta way to influence one's peers and to convince them of the validity of one's views. I have also used the MOO as a creative, literary environment. By recreating literary worlds in the MOO (such as a MOO version of Dante's Inferno ), students learn skills of close reading, while gaining a greater appreciation for the richness of Dante's descriptive detail. In a utopian literature class, furthermore, students can draw upon their readings throughout the semester to represent their own ideal worlds on the MOO. Through such a creative project, the students involve themselves in a process of active learning, in which the goals of the project reinforce the goals of the course: to determine the most effective political and social institutions for an ideal world, and to assess critically our current institutions as the students create their own utopian communities.

31. SoYouWanna Deliver An Effective Speech? This stepby-step article will teach you the tricks to delivering a solid speech. From writing, to practice, to vocal techniques, you'll never have to use that old picture them in their underwear trick again. http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/speaking/speaking.html

An Intermix Network Property SYW do standup comedy? SYW ace a job interview? SYW avoid common writing errors? Fact: the most common phobia that Americans have is glossophobia (that is the fear of public speaking, not the fear of lip gloss). Seventy-five percent of all Americans report having a fear of public speaking, beating out fear of spiders, fear of the dark, and even fear of death. We highly doubt that people, if given the choice, would choose death over public speaking, but nonetheless, talking in front of a large group of people will turn most people's legs into jelly. We hate jelly. That's why we're here to help you teach you how to give a good speech. And we promise that the advice that we offer will be more constructive than "picture the audience naked." Everyone knows that that doesn't actually work. Why is the image of your boss, your teacher, or complete strangers in the buff supposed to put you at ease, anyway? If anything, these images should inspire even more terror. This is the most important piece of advice we have to offer you about public speaking: never forget who you're talking to . You're not a wall or your mother or your friends (even if all of these are in the crowd). You're speaking to a specific audience . And audiences, by definition, gather together to watch something that's worth their being held hostage in a cramped room for an extensive amount of time.

INTRODUCTION we use it consciously to shape our thoughts and experiences, yet patterns and structures in the language itself can shape us in return. As this guide shows, American English frequently both reflects and reinforces systems of oppression in U.S. society. For example, a newspaper report describes a local event: "Over a thousand people attended with their wives and children." How does the statement relate to sexism and ageism? What does the statement communicate about who is a person and who is not? Teachers, students, trainers and others can use Writing for Change to expose bias in language.

Farms Around the World A Science, Geography and Writing Project Introduction and Overview We have participating farms from South Africa, Ireland, England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Canada, Israel, Paraguay, Brazil, Falkland Islands, Denmark, The Netherlands, Japan and from most regions of the United States. The farms range from a crocodile farm in Australia to Texas Longhorns and everything in-between, including many goat and emu farms, viticulture as well as traditional dairy, grain or crop farms. Some of these farms have a website. Click here to see some of our other participating farms. The following have created websites to post their visitor's adventures. Please take a moment to view some of the following sites, they are incredible!

Michael and Madelyn have a great time in Tennessee We began this project in October by having our children do their part and send off their flat paper dolls to the farms who have decided to participate. As there are farms from around the globe, we have a distant deadline so that each farm can choose the most appropriate season for their focus on the journal writing and sharing their very busy and valuable time with this project.

USING THIS GUIDE A Note from the Authors When we first started working on Writing for Change , we decided our first priority was to make this a flexible resource. We wanted you as a user to be able to find materials relevant to the many issues of difference, power, and discrimination you address in the classes you teach, groups you lead, or community forums you host. We had two reasons for structuring Writing for Change with its strong focus on language and writing: First, writing is a familiar learning procedure to most teachers and students, with its emphasis on process as well as product, and we wanted users to be able to integrate the exercises into their teaching environments as effortlessly as possible. Second, and perhaps more importantly, we recognize the unique and paradoxical role of language in our lives. We use this powerful tool to shape our thoughts and experiences, yet patterns and structures in the language itself can shape us in return. In the words of one activist, "Our words create our world." If language creates reality, we decided our best hope of shaping the reality we would like to see is to examine the negative and harmful underpinnings of this powerful but often invisible tool, and refocus them to begin creating a language of equality and inclusion.
