Below are some handouts related to what we've discussed in class.

=Pedagogy= Contrastive rhetoric (source on Google Books) Excerpts from White (1995): New Ways in Teaching Writing (for primary / secondary school levels) Excerpts from Day (1993): New Ways in Teaching Reading (for primary / secondary school levels) Sites for vocabulary & vocabulary size: lextutor.ca; and Paul Nation's website for vocabulary resources A politically correct classification paragraph exercise: Znarf exercise, & simplified Znarf exercise

=Miscellaneous= Logical fallacies: Logical errors to avoid

=Grants, dissertation proposals= Before actually starting on a dissertation, you will need to craft a well developed, well thought proposal, often as part of a preliminary exam with the professors on your committee. You may also need to apply for research grants to fund your dissertation research, especially in the sciences and some social science fields, unless you happen to be rich. If you do research as a grad student, or later as a professor, that requires funding, then grant writing could become a regular habit for you. So here are some grant proposals and general research proposals that I used as a Ph.D. student.
