Links for English 306

Rhetcomp.com: Very hip and well-produced; huge. Links to subfields (check it out when doing your biblio), listservs, journals, rhetorical terms, etc. Essentially for teachers and scholars, but user-friendly and broad enough that you'll find at least some stuff you can use.

The Rhetoric Page at Kettering University: By Mark Gellis, who's saved me an awful lot of linking by producing it. Resources for teachers and students, compendious, regularly updated.

Dan Kurland's Critical Reading page: A good bit of my discussion of critical thinking is swiped from here.

Several of the larger textbook publishers have resources pages for teachers and students of composition. Maybe the best is Bedford-St. Martin's, which among many many other things has decent tutorials in web design and research skills; Allyn-Bacon's CompSite is right up there too, and is large enough that you want to start on the site map.

This is the "Guides for Teachers" page at Colorado State University: "Think of our Teaching Guides as online texts for teachers. Each guide is designed to help you find information quickly on a given topic. Our guides are designed for writing teachers and for teachers of other subjects who want to use writing and speaking activities in their classrooms."

This particular section of the University of Hartford Rhetoric Program's site discusses a question that many of you have been puzzling over, but the entire site is good.

CompPile: Rich Haswell has collated 41,579 articles, books, etc. about composition. The best place to go for a keyword search.

Link to ERIC, Academic Search Premier, etc., through the Library's main page. Once there, click on "Databases for Research." If you're off campus when you do this, you'll need the number from your library card (not your social security number).

An annotated bibliography written by Diana Hacker and Glenn Blalock for The Bedford Handbook Instructor’s Annotated Edition. It leans a little heavily toward "handbook concerns" for that reason, but contains other good information too.

The Bedford Bibliography for Teachers of Writing: this is the standard. Use it to enhance your search, but don't swipe the annotations, and keep in mind it is largely aimed at college teachers.
