Group Project

I'm going to try to make the assignment pretty general so that you
can take it in any direction that appeals to you. Your group should
consist of no less than 3 people (with one group having 4). Using the
readings/topics/discussions of the first seven weeks of the syllabus as
a starting point think about how they can operate pedagogically.

Consider any number of things including (and more):

  • What you pedagogical practices are or were
  • How they may have change, may change, or are reinforced by what we have read and discussed
  • How you see this operating in your own pedagogical research
  • How might this work for different disciplines

What you should bring to the group for discussion:

  • An abstract that can be submitted to a professional conference or an academic publication (use an actual call as a model...Cs, C&W, MLA, ATTW, etc.)
  • A teaching unit (subject matter open) that utilizes any or all of the above
  • A sample assignment that will dazzle us
  • A presentation that is worthy of a professional audience

You should aim for 20 minutes of talking time and 10 minutes of
discussion. As with a professional conference there will be penalties
for exceeding the time limit so make sure that one of you is prepared
to act as chair/timekeeper.
