Resource Description:

This lesson is intended to help students in a first-year composition class build a series of effective paragraphs and enrich storytelling in narrative academic essays by including descriptive details and figures of speech. It develops skills in close reading and increases students’ awareness of the components and content of an introspective narrative essay. The lesson's topic invites students to reflect on the ways in which they interact with ordinary objects and imbue them with meaning, and on techniques that writers use to defamiliarize the familiar. Readings include (see References, below, for full citations):

1.     “Ode to an Orange” by Larry Woiwode

2.     “My Laptop” by Annalee Newitz

Resource Description: Interaction is a crucial element of instructed language learning, and it is essential to learning content as well. Among many other benefits, peer interaction gives students opportunities to personalize their learning and test their knowledge, and class-wide discussions allow instructors to assess students’ comprehension. In both instances, classes shift to more effective student-centered modes of instruction. This workshop explores techniques for preparing students for such participation, and for making the most of collaborative work and discussions.
