The Adolescents’ Literature course I’ve mentioned previously<\/a> now has a group page on Figment<\/a>. You are invited to join our ongoing discussions throughout the semester. This week we are reading I am Number Four. Next Week we’re reading Looking For Alaska and then the Chocolate War and then Perks and then and then and… Participate in the fun!<\/p>\n

The other course I am teaching, is a writing course for pre-service teachers. We will be focusing this quarter on writing about and advocating for the teaching profession. Our production will largely be public and can be followed at this blog<\/a>. If you are interested in sharing work, ideas, or critiques you encounter as an educator, please get in touch!<\/p>\n

Finally, if you have a friendly disposition toward cats or Tolstoy or both, my latest tumblr project, War and Peace and Cats<\/a> is in full swing. Check it out. It’s purr-fect.<\/p>\n

Tell people this is awesome:<\/h3>
