Summer Institute: Over!
Well, the 2008 Chico Summer Institute is over. What a great group of committed, smart teachers! I confess to suffering a bit from exhaustion at the moment, but I’m hopeful that it will pass soon.
As always, there were great presentations that have really helped me to think about the ways that I teach writing in my classes. In our debriefing after the institute, Amanda suggested we look at some new readings for next year. That sounds like a great idea, and I’m looking forward to finding good stuff to share with others.
Up next for me is finishing a draft of an article Rochelle and I have been collaborating on; I just got a revision from Rochelle (who is in Chile visiting her new granddaughter) in my inbox, so I think that means I need to work on it next.
I also have a web-based resource (basically a multimodal project) for the National Writing Project I need to revise in the near future. Oh, and I need to order books for Fall semester. And probably about a hundred other things, too. But maybe I’ll have a little time for some fun in the meantime, too.

Can’t believe I found this page, since I’m not much of an internet explorer. The draft is definately drafty…but we’ve tackled bigger stuff.
Oh, and Happy 4th! They don’t really celebrate that here, although we’re going to a gringo restaurant for lunch…the people who own it are from CHICO!
Get some rest, you deserve it. Running an institue is exhausting.
Congratulations on a great Summer Institute. I’m amazed by how great the site looks and works! Happy 4th of July and have a great rest of the summer.
