Today was my interview with the workshop instructor from Downriver Community Conference Work First program. I participated in a three day workshop called, “Personal Placement Network” (PPN), a program designed to provide professionals in career transitions with proven, self-directed job search techniques and I made an appointment to have the…

I posted a MEME to my Facebook page today and a friend ask me about the punctuation accuracy of the message in the MEME. I’m almost certain I answered his question correctly, but I started considering something else that hasn’t occurred to me before. I told my friend that…

“English studies maintains a fixed point of view through a singular notion of writing as static, fixed, and individually composed (typically via the essay or exam), taking place in a unified realm of thought deemed ‘English’” (127) in 2006, this is what Jeff Rice poses and in 2012 I learned…

I wanted to articulate the value I place with regard to Wessling’s approach in “Thematic teaching” (23), because this way of teaching assists students in finding meaning in text. She states that thematic teaching is designing reading experiences that would allow texts to talk to each other…ie, gathering a variety…
