Call for Teaching Notes for Radical Teacher

Is there a book, film, essay, poem, or story you've found particularly useful in the classroom and want to share with other Radical Teacher readers? We are especially interested in Teaching Notes on new materials not widely known, but we would also like to hear about newly rediscovered older works as well as new ways of teaching familiar ones. Contributions should be about 500 words and should include the following kinds of information: school, course, kinds of students, how you taught the work, difficulties as well as triumphs. Also, please supply the title, author, publisher, and current price.

In an effort to expand this column, we would also like to invite submissions of another sort, namely brief descriptions of classroom experiences that challenged, encouraged, or frustrated you. Has something unexpected happened in class, something-whether you handled it well, handled it badly, or are still trying to decide-that you believe our readers can learn from? Again, please try to keep your Teaching Note to under 500 words.

Please send a hard copy to Bob Rosen, Department of English, William Paterson University, 300 Pompton Road, Wayne, New Jersey 07470-and also an e-mail, with the header "Teaching Note," to: rosenr@wpunj.edu.
