Why Children Shouldn’t Read is a post by a teacher. It is an interesting presentation of reading and what it means to people. I’m going to have to come back to it later and discuss my perspective.
Would they cheat?
Would our students cheat if they knew that they would make two letter grades lower on exams?
The Chronicle has an article on cheating research in physics classes.
Not surprisingly, the cheaters performed far worse than other students come test time. But the degree of impact surprised Mr. Pritchard—students who frequently copied their homework scored two letter grades lower on comparable material on the exam. More students cheated later in the semester than in the beginning, and many students surveyed said that time pressures led them to copy a friend’s work.

Breathing Deeply
I have an interview this week.
I am alternating between feeling very prepared, totally unprepared, and panicked.
I guess I should work a lot on getting very prepared so that I will know exactly what I want to do with this.
Things to take:
Reading list
syllabi/calendars (Brit Novels I, Brit lit I, freshman comp, comp and lit)
The article from Changing English. (Since it’s in print and they can’t see it.) NOTE: I think I have an e-version of that on my school email.
Template completed that they asked for.
Handout I would use with this 50 minute lesson.
Copy of the video for the example.
Copy of my CV?
Print out the reading list from Latinoteca
diversity: generational, cultural, linguistic, economic, disabilities, gender, race, religion
business cards
