In other news, GUESS WHO HAS A PUBLICATION not with a publishing company/journal but who cares! PUBLICATION
If you are in any way interested in Old English, teaching Old English, and/or playful pedagogy, check out Playing with Old English: a Playful Pedagogy Resource here. We wanted this to be something that could be adapted to other (especially older) languages, so we'd love to hear feedback (sent to the emails listed in the introduction).

It's that time of the year where I'm grading many essays. My English 4 students are wrapping up their novels and good ole theme essays and my Eng 101 students' semester is at an end, so I'm evaluating arguments and preparing them for Eng 102.
Over the decades, I've gotten better at this. I'm a quick grader, but it takes a toll. This year I've been harping on them learning to better incorporate quotes into their work. Easier said than done. The student writer doesn't really learn until they do. They remember the rhetoric, structures, and other teachings, if they're paying attention, but until they try to practice what they've learned, they don't pick up good writing habits. I get half my students dumping quotes into essays as if quotes speak for themselves.
I get a lot of teachers worrying over student stamina and attentiveness these days. But I feel it's about the same it's always been with writing students. A few in each class shine and illustrate genuine learning and care. A good bunch reach for success but are mired in bad habits, sometimes (maybe often) taught to them by other teachers. And some just aren't writers and don't give an effort enough to flex those writing muscles. I'm not seeing that generational difference that some see.
What I do see is that we are asked as teachers and students to care more about grades than we are about discourse about the work we do and the important narratives about that work that would likely develop otherwise. I had a student today more interested in the type of A she was going to receive than interested in why she was assessed lower than she expected. (She isn't incorporating quotes well, insisting the reader make connections, and so not really mastering control of her prose.) She felt let down by her grade. I was like, hey, let's talk about your work which is over all wonderful but let's focus on where you have room to grow. The grading at this point was interfering with the opportunity to learn. Her sense of achievement not in the possibilities present in the discourse but mired in the accumulation of dead points.
And so it is with most students in high school. Even the poor student who struggles to pass has learned to focus on enough points to pass rather than to puzzle their way to better study habits in conversation with their teacher. I find it horrifying that we blame students for their perspective which I feel is daily taught to them, reinforced until they are habituated accountants.

I know I'm not posting much lately but I started a new job and--yeah
And it's not that I don't think abt Metallica, it's more like that my thoughts go like
"king nothing > memory. Which is not a unpopular opinion, per se, but like. Memory won the continuity live war till 2023. What a world we live in"
And
"WELCOME TO THIS LIFE
BORN INTO THE FIGHT
HERE TO CLAIM YOUR DREAM
Dreams..... No?
Dream SIGULAR. I forgot that it was singular, I sang it plural, here to claim your dreams. Usually in English don't you say "claim your dreamS"? Ohhhhhh, but it's singular bc for james it can't be anything else.
>>>>>'there was no plan b. Plan b, c, d was making plan a work'
This is autobiographical as UN1, which also starts with birth seen as something immediately difficult. But screaming Suicide is more Abt yourself -you, your voice- and something external giving you a hand; while UN1 is others, what others do to you-- till it transforms you"

I don't know, maybe I'm the one who's expectations are off here. Anyone else feel like the example reply (below the cut) is a good thing for one student to be responding to another student with on a classwide discussion board?
In your reply to others reflect on what you have learned in this chapter and how you can apply this information to your current or future job, your life and or your educational goals.Also, you may want to also include in your reply some information that your fellow learner may have omitted or was unclear about in their own original post. ............................................................................................................................. This post was a good attempt at answering the prompts, and the author gave a noteworthy try at answering each one. Unfortunately, the author of the post did not provide a thorough response this time. In the first prompt, information was provided but was not related back to the question and neither ideas nor information was given the author's interpretation or understanding of the underlying mechanisms going on. If the textbook was not enough to help the author understand a concept, external resources can easily be used from the library research databases or from a quick internet search away, or a question clarified with the professor in the Psych Lounge. If some grammatical issues are complicating the process for the author, the internet is also a great source for help that I use in my own responses. However, the author did use correct APA citations and this is noteworthy and appreciated. It would have also been nice to see more elaboration on the last prompt, which discusses dreaming and its underlying mechanisms, which provides a space for the student to further engage discussion and elaborate on concepts other than merely stating something. As you’ve mentioned, selective attention is the ability to tune out the outside world and focus on one object. An example of selective attention is by Moran and Desimone, whom have trained monkeys as subjects for an experiment of distinguishing colors in their line of vision (Moran & Desimone, 1985 as cited in Myers & Dewall, 2021). In this experiment, the monkeys showed more response to colors they have been trained to pay attention to and showed less response in those that they weren't trained on. This entails that simultanagnosia is a disorder of selective attention, since one cannot recall more than one object at a time in this state. The olfactory system is different because it is the only sensory system that receives information directly to the brain, but from like you've stated the molecules and chemicals that are airborne. The gustatory system differs by being ipsilateral--meaning the process only occurs in that specific area of the system. References Moran, J., & Desimone, R. (1985). Selective attention gates visual processing in the extrastriate cortex. Science, 229 (4715), 782-784. Myers, D.G. & DeWall, C.N. (2021). Psychology. (13th ed.) Worth Publishers. ............................................................................................................................. Thank you for your post, I look forward to reading more! Sincerely, A Student

Teaching English Composition Under the AI Cloud
Teaching English Composition Under the AI Cloud
Dear Fellow English Teacher: We can start teaching the college composition course less based on procedural knowledge (skills) and more on declarative knowledge (knowing about). That will, radically, involve us in more lectures, objective exams, and maybe one synthesis paper at the end of the semester to demonstrate what students have learned. Perhaps more (very lightly assessed) journaling and…

#also while I’m already venting about stuff#I can’t decide on grad school in US or Japan bc I have things I love like dislike and hate about both countries#and the main reason I would go to grad school in Japan would be if I wanted to work there bc job hunting starts before graduation#vs if I stay in the US I’d need to do the same thing so I could transition from student visa to work visa#and it would be a lot harder to pivot either direction bc I’m either arriving very late to the Japanese job market without the networking#that school provides unless I depend on my family for networking which I don’t want to do for a lot of reasons#and if I go back to Japan then decide to live and work in the US I need to probably apply from overseas or fly to the US just for job hunt#and will be at a disadvantage to an American citizen who is already in the country#and I don’t know which place I want to live bc I miss japan when I’m in the US but I feel restricted when I’m in Japan and it just feels#so small#and I feel whichever place I pick I’m going to have regrets and I keep pingponging between the two places but I need to pick one#ALSO on top of it I’ve gotten really into linguistics over the course of my undergrad and I know in the US there’s more flexibility to pivot#for masters and I’ve already taken linguistics + English courses and could pivot to that#but I’d have to restructure my whole career path probably#aaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!#for the record I love business too and econ#and also sociology and cultural anthropology esp of North America#and 20th century art/music history#and the pedagogy of foreign languages#and English in general#RrrRRrgh.
