To be honest, I didn't quite get through last summer's reading list. In fact, much of it is still in the back seat of my car in a large box. I had the best of intentions of bringing all of that up to my room after Kristie made me get it out of dinning room at the end of last summer. But it ended up spending the past 10 months in the back seat. Perhaps, that explains why the class schedule still taped to my door is from first quarter!
Well, here is what I'd LIKE to read (and in some cases re-read) if I had the time --

Pickering, Talking in Class: Using Discussion to Enhance Teaching and Learning, The Art of Discussion-Based Teaching by John E. Henning, Blending Genre, Altering Style: Writing Multigenre Papers by Tom Romano, Pirates on the Prairie by Eric Bergerson, A Writer Teaches Writing by Donald M.
