Longing...

I am longing to get back to cutting rings and weaving, but at the moment, University assignments are chewing up my brainpower and my time.

My insane pile of textbooks - and this is only about one third of them!

For your enjoyment, here are a couple...

"Ivanic (2004) identifies six discourses of writing and learning to write that have influenced past and present approaches to the teaching of writing: a skills discourse, a creativity discourse; a process discourse; a genre discourse; a social practices discourse and a sociopolitical discourse.  Drawing on this model, consider the discourses that underpin the proposed National Curriculum for English in the K-6 years as outlined in the Shape of the Australian Curriculum: English (2009)"

or

"Through a critical analysis of the research literature, discuss the factors and practical implications that need to be taken into account when including a student with either an intellectual disability or a physical disability in the regular classroom."

Sit back, and enjoy the fact that whatever you are doing, is not answering these!


(For the record, I actually love Uni, and I don't mind doing these ... if only there wasn't such a (seemingly) short timeframe!)
