Syllabus & Texts
Texts: The course texts have been chosen for the quality
of their material; many students find that these books enhance,
or form the foundation of, a professional teacher's library. While
it may seem at first that one or the other does not address your
chosen grade level, you'll find the crossover easily made.

As part of this course, you also should become
familiar with the full tier of Oregon Writing Benchmarks and
Standards (copy them from: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=223)
and the following site for scoring practice: (www.openc.k12.or.us/scoring/).
I will show you how to access/search for articles in the library,
tied to the Reading Logs assignment; if you forget, consult
a librarian or come to see me.
You will also begin to acquaint yourself with professional journals-a
good place to start is the NCTE [National Council of Teachers
of English] journal at your chosen level:
college-College English or College Composition and
Communication [CCC] or English in the Two-Year College;
high school-English Journal;
middle school-Voices from the Middle;
elementary-Language Arts.
