Welcome to the English 1000 Blog!

Good afternoon! By now, we have met for our first-ever English 1000 meeting. Everything you will ever need to know about English 1000 can be found on this blog. I will be responsible for posting helpful tips, materials, and discussion topics for you. I might even convince Cheryl to make a guest appearance or two (or more!). Blogger is a free blogging network, so feel free to create a blog of your own. Otherwise, you should be able to post comments anonymously.

Something we'll discuss over the course of the fall is readiness for teaching. One of my professors encouraged me to create a blog that chronicled my teaching experience. I will, in fact, be doing just that this coming fall. And, while not required, I am going to encourage each of you to consider the possibility. What better way for potential employers to become acquainted with your professional activities than reading a teaching blog?

This is a new site, so I'll spend the summer working out any flaws or problems. If you check, I'll even be able to post new ideas, materials, etc for your perusal. I look forward to our work this next year!
