Subject: RE: Freshman composition

Hi

I agree that part of writing must be learned alone (by doing).....but
editing and critiquing....would do well as team activities 

Check the original TBL book and the activity around active voice.....

In which passage is the active voice used most appropriately?

or consider...I just taught a resume/covering letter workshop using
TBL.....

Which of these sample opening paragraphs from 3 covering letters is
best?

Hope that helps

Jim

Subject: Freshman composition

I teach Freshman composition. I.e. a class that has individual papers as
the primary grading criteria, and frankly, as the entire point of the
class. Team learning sounds fascinating, but antithetical to the nature
of my class.  A person must learn to write a paper on their own. 
To do otherwise is to breach academic integrity, at least of this class.
(One cannot represent as one's own work the work of someone else, nor of
a collaboration.) Is there a work around to a class that demands
individual projects as the fundamental grading criterion.
