learning is enhanced by speaking, writing, and reading activities.

The course will follow a workshop format where the participants will be

given the opportunity to apply what is covered in class to their own

curriculum areas or grade levels, and where the participants will be

expected to play an active part in the class and in the design of the class.

Assessment will be based on one project where the participant will

develop a unit using the material covered in the course, an oral

presentation, and a short paper. Evaluation will be discussed in the first
