Party time!

Hey folks! Gianna and Megan and a bunch of us have been talking about having kind of a mini-graduation party/closing social/holy-cow-we-made-it extravaganza next weekend, and YOU are invited! Here are the (tentative) details:

WHO: You, significant other, offspring, etc.
WHAT: Food, messing around outside, meeting significant others/offspring, saying goodbye
WHERE: Kiwanis park (type in "kiwanis park provo ut" to maps.google.com for location/directions--it's the park southeast of campus, kind of below the tree streets)
WHEN: Saturday, April 18 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM
HOW: Potluck!

Yep, it's potluck, but we wouldn't be a bunch of teachers if there wasn't a writing assignment to go with it. :) Ergo, please go to this document (it's a Google Docs page) and sign up for what you want to bring (you should've received an email inviting you as a collaborator so that you can type into it. If not, email me: cathryn dot matheson at gmail dot com).

We'll have Frisbee, slack lining (thanks, Carolyn), and any other outdoorsy things you want to bring to play. ALSO, bring your favorite student teaching horror story, student excuse for not turning in homework, crazy student assignment, etc. to share and laugh over.

See you there! Happy graduation!

Post the First

Welcome to a work in progress! Hopefully, this blog will (soon!) become a place where the English Ed majors at BYU can come to dump lesson plans for sharing, post tips for getting a job, or generally write whatever seems to be salient and helpful at the moment.

Join the bandwagon! To collaborate and share on this blog:

1. Sign up for a Blogger account at www.blogger.com. If you already have a Google account, such as a Gmail email address, you are already a Blogger account holder (Google owns Blogger).
   
2. Email cathryn.matheson at gmail dot com and I'll add you to the party! In the subject line, mention "add to English blog," and make sure you include your Google/Blogger username somewhere in the message (it's the part of your Gmail address that comes before the @).
3. Once you get the confirmation email, start posting! You can get started by copying and pasting your favorite lesson plans with "Lesson Plan: __(lesson title)__" as the post title. Come on, you know we all want them! Or share great websites you've found, news in the English Ed community, tips about jobs and hiring, or anything else on your mind.
   

Everyone is welcome. Send links to any and all who may be interested. Don't forget to send me links to your own blogs to put on the side here! ---->

Yours,
Cathryn
