| Spell “altruism”….. | July 24, 2011 | I have three lessons of two hours per week with my students. For the first 6-8 weeks in the interest of expanding and improving vocabulary (given that it is a course on language and writing) I give a spelling test. Usually I attempt to connect the words to the issues and ideas we are discussing […] |

| Life is precious | July 9, 2011 | I can’t remember the last time I read an entire book in one sitting but it happened yesterday. “Which book which book Wendy?” I hear you all cry in eager anticipation of a reply.
