Materials here include sample assignment sheets, grading rubrics, slide presentations, peer-response forms, as well as links to online resources to help you develop engaging classroom presentations, useful homework assignments, and informative communication with your students.
The ideas we share on this website expand the particular examples in our textbook PLANNING WITH PURPOSE: A Handbook for New College Instructors (2020) published
by Rowman and Littlefield.
You’ll find at the materials links specific ways to organize peer-editing sessions in class and for show purposes for homework, for customizing rubrics to aid in lesson planning, giving and receiving feedback, and for weighting grades, homework, late work, and extra credit options.
Here are links to posts that may be useful in planning your virtual/online lessons.
We’ve found them interesting and potentially helpful
in charting your courses on these unknown roads.
