Lance Hunt' 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?

Lance Hunt Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 12:55 PM To: [log in to unmask] 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.
