Talk:Rhetoric and Composition/Teacher's Handbook

Topics to be addressed:
 * How to use the technology (provide links to pages)
 * differences between wikitext and normal text
 * dealing with potential problems

Editing
I'm trying to work on the links to this section-- please don't roll back my changes today 10/29/08. It is a slow process.

Teaching Structure & Style
This links to my page on teaching sentence structure, when it needs to link to an intervening page that then links to my page on teaching sentence structure. There would also be links to other "teaching structure & style" pages. Russ M

Test
Just testing to make sure my comment ends up where it should. --Kyoung 00:24, 3 November 2007 (UTC) I'm wondering how we are planning to go about this. Should we break it into individual sections and provide teaching ideas for each section? Are we going to have a section that tells a teacher how he/she may use the book, in general? I suppose we could give teaching ideas/assignments that require students to reference the book -- just bouncing some ideas around... --Kyoung 00:28, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Links
Another idea...I think that we should limit the number of links that go in this section. Rather than referring people to someone else, let's try to provide that information right here. --Kyoung 00:31, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Concept for page
Kim, I do like the idea of few links that direct someone away from the wikibook. For clarity though, links (designed around the rhet/comp main page will help by creating a similar layout.

I have two thoughts for approaching this page.

First, design the page to look similar to the Rhet/comp books main page. Then a style overview of the Teachers Handbook section can be given on how to utilize the book.

From here I'm not sure if an overall review of how to use the book should be given, or if smaller reviews should be placed within each sub-category? I would like to include assignment samples within each sub-category. Also, once information is added into each sub-category, a link to that page can be added into the matching sub-category from the main page. This is a cut and paste task.

I will add more to this page on Thursday.

TOC fixing
Let's fix the formatting on the TOC; I see no reason to keep repeating "Teacher's Handbook" before each section. I've started to fix them, but need help with the rest. I also think we need a template for each section, with perhaps a "teacher's introduction," sample in-class and/or homework exercises (and assignments), discussion prompts, and so on. --Mattbarton.exe 20:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I changed the rest of them. I think that is what you were looking for, right? Kyoung

fixed toc
I finished making edits and moving stuff around to consolidate some of this stuff. I don't think we need a matching section for EVERY section in the full book; just what will be most useful for teachers. I'm debating whether we should further consolidate, but will leave as-is for now. --Mattbarton.exe (talk) 21:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

layout
I was attempting to give a similar layout style to the main page of the rhet/comp book. Does this connection/ visual rhetoric still exist now?

Section about teaching writing with computers?
As more composition teaching takes place in computer labs, where students can read this wikibook, as well as compose their texts in word processing applications, there are students and teachers who struggle with the wired classroom. A chapter for teachers on how to teach in computer labs might be appropriate in this section, including how to use word processing apps like MS Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs. Would that be appropriate content for a textbook? I could contribute some advice to such a section. --Polintr (discuss • contribs) 00:50, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
