The following are the texts for the blog summaries that still have to be done this semester:

Bryan Norbut: Watch the video (interview of Writing Center tutors) on the following website, and explain what “minimalist tutoring” is. Are you in favor of it, or against it? What would the contrary be?
John Lynch: Summarize pp. 150-157, chapters “Teaching Grammar via Mini-lessons” through “Mini-Lessons as a Reflection of the Cognitive/Constructivist Paradigm,” from the Weaver book Teaching Grammar in Context.
Von Smalley: Read pp. 87-101, “Teaching Final Revision and Editing/Proofreading” from the Weaver book Teaching Grammar in Context, and offer your personal opinion about “hands-off policy” and “benign neglect.”
