This is a Site Map. Link on the Section you want to find.
I'll have all the links fixed by Wednesday. I had to change many of them around.
It took longer than I thought it would. jeanne

This morning I'm uploading blogs for many of the topics we'll be discussing this semester on both campuses, CSUDH and UWP. The blogs are a major part of our new mentoring program, so do take the time to explore them. But this has slowed us down a little with syllabi. Those will be up soon. jeanne

  Resource Literacy

  • Plagiarism Watch www.streetgangs.com site. The intelligent and effective use of resources means that you have to be careful not to plagiarize other people's material. We have several files on plagiarism, but I think the one that might make the most sense to you is this complaint on streetgangs.com. They give you samples of sites that have taken their material without citation, even at colleges, and they also give you examples of sites that have used their material with proper attribution. I find the irony poetic, and hope that their message will get through to you the importance of attribution. Dr. O'Connor on his Mega Criminal Justice site led me to streetgangs.com and noted that others frequently hack into the site. For that reason I have created a backup copy for your use in case you cannot access the actual site. Please be sure to attribute any citation to streetgangs.com. jeanne Backup.

• Letters of Recommendation:

  • Letters of Recommendation: How to get me to respond to your request. Many of you need letters. If you will follow this format, I can do them quickly and make them good.
  • Dog Letters If you do not give me adequate information, but do manage to get my attention, you may end up with a dog letter. That is a letter that says that you work well with people, that you are enthusiastic, that you persist at getting things done, and that everyone likes you. Of course, my dog gets along well with people, brings his ball to them, is enthusiastic, and persists at getting them to take his ball. Everyone likes my dog. That's a dog letter. It's so general it could be about my dog. jeanne

  Look at that face. His/her eyes absolutely captured me. For that I'll go to the Galapagos. Couldn't find such a shot anywhere else, and, of course, I don't know who took it. But it was an ad for a Celbrity Xpeditiion to Galapagos, that came from the American Express Mariner Club.

  Once the Bear Chose His Beer Los Angeles Times, The Nation, August 20, 2004.

  " From Associated Press

  "August 20, 2004

  "BAKER LAKE, Wash. — When state Fish & Wildlife agents found a black bear passed out on the lawn of Baker Lake Resort, there were some clues scattered nearby — dozens of empty cans of Rainier Beer.
  "The bear apparently got into campers' coolers and used his claws and teeth to puncture the cans. And not just any cans.
  " 'He drank the Rainier and wouldn't drink the Busch beer,' said Lisa Broxson, bookkeeper at the campground and cabins resort east of Mt. Baker.
  "Fish & Wildlife Enforcement Sgt. Bill Heinck said Wednesday that the bear tried one can of Busch, but ignored the rest. The bear then consumed about 36 cans of Rainier.
  "A wildlife agent tried to chase the bear from the campground, but the animal climbed a tree to sleep it off. Agents herded the bear away, but it returned in the morning.
  "Agents then used a trap to capture it for relocation, baiting the trap with the usual: doughnuts, honey and, in this case, two open cans of Rainier."

Sneaky Strokes and Good Dogs

Whenever something happens in class that works out well, that inspires you, that helps in studying, whatever, take a few minutes to send us an e-mail. We'll post it where all of us can learn from it, including other teachers.

Include:

• A sentence or two about what you want to share with us.
• The name of the teacher whose class you were in.
• The name of the class.
• The name of the school. We're not picky. We'll honor teachers in any school, any level. This might be a good idea to help young children learn to say "thank you" and encourage meaningful practice in all our schools. We could even start with pre-school. This is a skill needed in answerability. To discover that what you think matters is to end silencing. Even home schooling. You can send photos or drawings, too.

• See the first entries at Sneaky Strokes and Good Dogs
