DESIGNS FOR LEARNING: SECONDARY LANGUAGE ARTS

C100

This is an instructional course organized for self-study through distance education. It is designed for

secondary teachers of English who teach language arts. The job of this course is to improve your chances for

having an educated imagination and passing this gift onto your students.

To help you in that process, you are asked to do a lot of reading, writing and thinking in a very structured

and interactive setting using electronic conferencing.

Three basic components include:

(1)

EVERY MAN'S WORDS which focuses on the study of the short story. In this section, you will educate

your imagination by examining short stories which are of particular appeal to secondary students today.

(2)

YOUR WORDS which focuses on the teacher as writer and teacher of writing. In this section, you will

develop your imagination using the writing skills, attitudes and processes of professional writers.

(3)

Shakespeare-to the classroom in ways that are inventive and student-centered.
