ENGL 505B

Next year, I will be bidding farewell to 106 and teaching 106i, the composition course designed for international undergraduates. Although 106 and 106i fulfill the same requirements, there are a few differences between the two. Among them:

* Students have access to laptops during every class.
* There are more conferences.
* Students choose one topic and explore it throughout the semester through five (?) different genres of papers.

We talked about some interesting websites to use in class to motivate students and teach them about new media, such as Chore Wars, RPG Maker, Machinima, and Pmog. Are there any other good sites that either the students could use or teachers could use to design games for students?

i like syllabus

Here is my new syllabus... it's not for 106... not really even for English... but hey, I thought I would participate anyway

Ellen Evans and Jeanne Po’s article brings to the fore an idea that surprises quite a few instructors: “Thus, it would seem that hypertext fiction may offer the epitome of aesthetic reading, and yet many students in this study staunchly argued that the digital texts could hardly be considered literary” (64). This asks for a revision of the pedagogical approaches we employ when teaching digital texts. Although the authors present this issue as characteristic of the millennials, I would argue that it is also characteristic of other groups, such as the generation X.

Hi all,

I created this activity for my students' research and video projects. Since they do these in groups from varying perspectives, it might not work for all research papers, but I like making them choose three topics and do some preliminary research on all of them before they officially choose a topic, and this is what I use to do that. Very adaptable

Dudes,

Check out this link for some incredible examples of visual rhetoric and the use of accumulation as commentary on contemporary American culture.
