Early on in my Composition II classes, I\u2019d assign a short story I\u2019d never read. Then, the students and I worked together exchanging ideas about the story\u2019s themes and possible interpretations. Finally, we revised our interpretations, using evidence from the story. By grappling with the unfamiliar, I showed my students how to do the same thing. One of my students remarked that \u201cit\u2019s as if there is a new meaning, a new interpretation lurking behind every sentence that that crawls or leaps from students\u2019 mouths.\u201d In addition to actively engaging students in the learning process, the technique kept me active as a learner.<\/p>\n<h1>Agenda on the Board<\/h1>\n<p>by <strong>Christie Carr<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I first started teaching eight years ago in the Student Development Department, I came up with the idea to write an agenda on the chalkboard to help me stay on track. It turned out the students liked it, too. The agenda, written in bullet points, included information we covered the previous week, homework due, the current lesson highlights, and homework to be assigned. Today I use this teaching strategy in my hybrid course and it still helps keep students focused. It also reminds students that they have a second weekly class period, just not on campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s post is a two for one!
