Please write for three minutes (total) to
respond to these questions:
- Which
class that you are currently teaching would lend itself to one of the
ideas that you have heard today? Which idea? Why?
- Can you
think of three specific writing assignments
your could give to your students?
- What
objections to assigning communication assignments do you anticipate from
your colleagues? How might you answer them?
Take another few minutes to
discuss responses within your group.
Report your group's conclusions to everyone
else.
