"Journal Submission Guidelines
NCTE publishes twelve professional journals, including at least one for each membership section. Volunteer editors ensure that the peer-reviewed content is of the highest quality and is relevant to the lives of NCTE members and subscribers. Because these journals are all published through different volunteer editors, the submission guidelines vary for each:
* Classroom Notes Plus
* College Composition and Communication
* English Education
* College English
* English Journal
* English Leadership Quarterly
* Language Arts
* Research in the Teaching of English
* School Talk
* Talking Points
* Teaching English in the Two-Year College
* Voices from the Middle"

The problem with 40 students is that there is no way to read (much less comment upon) every post if every student is posting every week. I am toying then with a rotation model (inspired by Randy Bass), in which students are divided into five groups of eight students, cycling through these five roles:
* Role 1 - Students are "first readers," posting initial questions and insights about the reading to the class blog by Monday morning
* Role 2 - Students are "respondents," building upon, disagreeing with, or clarifying the first readers' posts by class time on Tuesday
* Role 3 - Students are "synthesizers," mediating and synthesizing the dialogue between first readers and respondents by Thursday
* Role 4 - Students are responsible for the week's class notes (see next section on Wikis)
* Role 5 - Students have this week "off" in terms of blogging and the wiki
I like the rotation model because each group of students is reading for and reacting to something different. The shifting positionality affords them greater traction, offers greater variety, and guarantees a dialogue without comments from myself.
