Assignments and other info

Dear all,

I've had a number of meetings and e-mails regarding the assignments. I've been really enthused by your suggestions so far and it is encouraging to see a diversity of questions and interests. Perhaps we're getting to a point where you'd like to peer review some of your ideas for assignments and get some friendly feedback from other participants?

Can I suggest you post your current thoughts on what you'd like to write about for your assignments on the blog? I think a bit of brainstorming might be very useful for everyone.



A second point is that I'm thinking of having our 'academic literacy' week starting next Monday week i.e. starting the 12th of October. This would be great as a means to discuss the ideas emerging from your assignments and readings with other EAP practitioners from the OU and perhaps other colleagues from CELE? We could do this on the this blog OR I could set up another space for this to take plae if you prefer. Could you let me know your thoughts (through the blog and not e-mail so all can see) asap?

I think another blog may make more sense if it's only for a week. If we do this on the current one, it may get a bit cluttered - sorry, I meant even more cluttered :)
Downside for some may be that there would be another website (blog) to look at frequently. But it's only for a week, isn't it?

That's right ... a week of chatting ... maybe somewhere else and then I can import some of the discussion onto the blog at another time

If we have another blog, will we have to move what we write on this one re our current assignments? There speaks a truly frustrated technophobe!

Hi Anne,
if we did move the discussion elsewhere I'd move anything we needed to the temp. new place :-)
You have enough on your plate as it is!
