24 February - 1 March

I'm trusting that by this point we might begin to address some of the student writing.  If this is the case, we will do something very complex: we will look at student writing, and your comments, and address this work in the context of what we've read thus far.

Also, for this week, we'll discuss Maxine Greene's classic piece "In Search for a Critical Pedagogy".  The Forum for this week will assist you getting into your second writing assignment.

We're hopefully working on students' essays.  And you'll begin work on your second essay.
