Particularly in my business writing class, I am able to mention pertinent articles to students and incorporate that into our discussions in class, which adds to the feel of practicality that I try to nurture in the classroom. My introductory composition students gain less from this as a class but more as individuals. I am often able to point them to relevant articles and ideas as they work on developing projects. I'm happy to say that a couple of my students now read the <span style="font-style: italic;">Journal</span> religiously, having picked it up after hearing me remark on something that I read that interested them. More than anything, I feel like the <span style="font-style: italic;">Times </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">Journal</span> are helping to keep my classroom connected to the world and that is invaluable to me both as a teacher and a person.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8098890-111083088010536822?l=rhetoricat.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cat Shulerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04475471896338877003noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098890.post-1110830420120722062005-03-14T14:51:00.000-05:002005-03-14T15:00:20.123-05:00In an attempt to feel connected with the world beyond academia, I've been reading a large number of periodicals: <span style="font-style: italic;">The Nation, USNews&World Report, The Progressive</span> as well as my usuals: <span style="font-style: italic;">Bitch, Ms., Bust, RealSimple, ReadyMade, off our backs, Venus, Mother Jones,</span> and<span style="font-style: italic;"> Harpers. </span>However, I think that most significantly, I am reading two newspapers a day. Usually the two are <span style="font-style: italic;">The NYTimes </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Wall Street Journal</span>. Although some days, I just read the local paper and <span style="font-style: italic;">The Indianapolis Star</span> since I can get them for free. Increasingly, though, I read the <span style="font-style: italic;">WSJ</span>, which I've only recently realized is amazing. It's become a daily habit to stop by Borders or the newsstand by my house to pick up a copy. I've added it to my(at least) daily Starbucks run. Anyway, I've decided to subscribe (and hopefully the bastard(s) who steals my <span style="font-style: italic;">Times</span> on the weekends won't get to it first) . With all of the interesting things that I read in the <span style="font-style: italic;">Journal</span>, I feel the need to discuss them, which I intend (and hope) to do here.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8098890-111083042012072206?l=rhetoricat.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cat Shulerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04475471896338877003noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8098890.post-1110829849941614682005-03-14T14:48:00.000-05:002005-03-14T14:50:49.943-05:00This is my newest blog incarnation.
