Hold the dates -- more info to come! EC Ning 2011 Summer Webstitute Title: Reading Classic and Young Adult Literature with Students This Webstitute emerges from the passionate interest of English Language Arts folks in reading texts of all kinds. All too often, it seems the we see classic and YA lit as mutually exclusive, even going so far as to position one as being "better" than the other, educationally, culturally, and sometimes even morally. In this Webstitute, we are bringing together accomplished teachers, writers, and scholars to explore the best of each world, as well as areas where they blend to create a rich learning environment. Dates: July 11 & 12, 4-7 pm EST Place: Elluminate, EC Ning, etc. Really supportive and helpful community of English educators. They will welcome you with open arms and good ideas. Note "New Teachers" Group.
