Reflection in the Writing Classroom
Reflection as Observation |
Reflection as Refraction |
far I have discussed reflection as a significant catalyst for learning,
and I have noted that even observation is a form of reflection that has
enhanced potential in the electronic classroom. In my discussion of classroom
examples of reflection as observation, I mentioned the importance of
students producing a text generated from their observations of peer writing.
But what is to become of these newly created reflective pieces? Another
illustration will help demonstrate how reflection as refraction might work
in an electronic writing classroom. For example, if you were teaching how
to write lead sentences for introductory paragraphs, you might have students
post a draft of their introduction in a bulletin board and then ask them
to read the posts of their peers. As students read, they would create a
reflective piece that identifies two good and two bad instances of lead
sentences and discusses the differences (perhaps even having them look again
at their own lead sentence and suggest possible adjustments). But where
does this new reflective piece go? Why not share it too?
One powerful technique, then, that practitioners of reflection can use in the networked setting is to have students share reflective pieces over the computer network. For years, I have used what I call Process Journals where students post to the network a reflective piece that calls on them to write about their writing. These Process Journals are similar to Swartzendruber-Putnams Writers Log. Each week, students respond to a prompt about their writing experience, post it to the network, and spend ten to fifteen minutes reading the reflective posts of their peers. Students not only gain the benefits of writing such a reflection-in-action piece in isolation, but the whole writing community is able to gain deeper understandings through the sharing of these reflective pieces. Here is an example of a Process Journal topic I used in a class recently: Quite simply, sharing reflective pieces puts the knowledge gained from reflection in a broader context. If, as Pat Belanoff contends, reflection can enable the reconstitutingif only momentarilyof a unified self, which certainly enables one to act more effectively (421), then sharing and reflecting upon these reflections may fragment that unified self and stir the student to reconstitute a more complex and synthetic understanding. Carol Pope uses the term refraction to describe this movement beyond reflection where the same activity is seen but from a different angle: I have to do more than hold a mirror to myself and the class; I have to turn the mirror and see the class from different angles. I call this process Refraction. Refraction, an extension of reflection, suggests an added way of seeing(180). Reflecting upon reflections, then, is a kind of refraction that heightens and deepens the learning gained from reflection. Certainly, students in a traditional writing classroom can share reflections in small groups, but the computer network makes this sharing easier and more multitudinous. In Yanceys concluding questions about the suitability of computer networks, she voices some uncertainty about the social context for reflection. She asks, What is the affect of public audience on reflection? We might restate the question as, How does it make the student feel and react to the fact that they are posting their reflections for everyone to read? Should individual reflections be made publish? Of special concern for Yancey here would be the effect of audience on self-revelation. Would the sharing of reflections inhibit self-revelation and stifle the reflective act? My answer to these concerns is nonot necessarily. First, if a pedagogy of sharing text frequently is used (and I use if from the first day of class), students get used to posting their writing before their peers. The dynamism of the spectator-participant role helps them feel engaged with the group and more comfortable performing before them. Partly they feel more comfortable because others are posting their reflections as well. In addition, most reflective prompts in a composition classroom are about students writing experience and dont call on them to reveal highly personal or intimate experiences (as is evident in Bolters article). Finally, even if a student did feel inhibited in his or her reflection because they feared baring their soul before the group, other students might not have been so inhibited. As a spectator, the inhibited student is still able to refractaffirm, question, rethinkhis or her own experience by reading the posts of his or her peers. Next: Reflection as Coherence |

Arsh Design Group has completed the reinvention of two office and residential blocks in Tehran, both of which have been recognised by the Grand Memar Prize in Iran. As the city has experienced a dramatic escalation in land and property prices, the firm relates that 'investors demand architects to design for a spatial scenario, whereas maximum allowed envelope is built to maximise the profit return of the investment'.
In order to accommodate these 'demands', the Checker Box Office Complex and Dollat II Residential Complex have been designed using the lowest cost materials available combined with 'innovative construction techniques'. The exterior shader grid on the front façades have been completed using one of the cheapest wood products available on the market – Narrad wood – commonly used for supporting frames and for construction workers to stand on whilst working. Arsh Design Group place much emphasis on the importance of the frontal façade, noting that: "the dynamics of the real estate market…intensifies the importance of the façade design in the overall process of conception, development and implementation of buildings, since [over]investment on this single façade is the way to make the building standout in its context as unique and…architecturally attractive."
In continuation of the economic choice of building materials, the back façade of Dollat II has been coated with painted cement to keep building costs to a minimum. The use of bright colours and a variation in window types and sizes have been included in an attempt to keep the building architecturally appealing. The roof, a left-over shared space in the previous property, has been subjected to a series of design strategies to convert it into a privately used roof garden.

The Misleading Fliers Comcast Used To Kill Off a Local Internet Competitor
Unknown Lamer posted about 5 months ago | from the muni-broadband-madness! dept.
250Jason Koebler (3528235) writes In the months and weeks leading up to a referendum vote that would have established a locally owned fiber network in three small Illinois cities, Comcast and SBC (now AT&T) bombarded residents and city council members with disinformation, exaggerations, and outright lies to ensure the measure failed. The series of two-sided postcards painted municipal broadband as a foolhardy endeavor unfit for adults, responsible people, and perhaps as not something a smart woman would do. Municipal fiber was a gamble, a high-wire act, a game, something as "SCARY" as a ghost. Why build a municipal fiber network, one asked, when "internet service [is] already offered by two respectable private businesses?" In the corner, in tiny print, each postcard said "paid for by SBC" or "paid for by Comcast." The postcards are pretty absurd and worth a look.

Album review
The Kills - Keep On Your Mean Side
Their minimalist boy/girl blues-rock makes for an easy comparison with The White Stripes (and, rather conveniently, both bands recorded their new albums at east London's Toe-Rag studios), but The Kills (singing guitarists Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart) plough a darker, more corrosive furrow. The London-based duo's liking for repetitive Royal Trux-style riffage forms the core of their debut but they frequently explore more sparse territories. "Kissy Kissy" assumes an eerie country twang while "Black Rooster" spirals into a bluesey swagger, but it's Mosshart's sexily drawled spoken-word segments that keep this brisk debut the right side of bare-boned.

Settlement reached between township, former Galloway clerk
Written by Alex Davis Wednesday, February 13, 2013 12:00 am
< Prev | Next > |
MIDDLE TOWNSHIP ŌĆō A $35,000 settlement has been reached between former Galloway Township Clerk Lisa A. Tilton and Middle Township after she accused the township of discrimination last year.
According to a tort claim filed by Tilton, Middle Township officials didnŌĆÖt interview Tilton for deputy clerk and registrar of vital statistics positions because she had filed a suit against Galloway and they were afraid if she wouldnŌĆÖt get the position, the township, too, would be sued.
According to a draft settlement emailed to The Gazette by the Township ClerkŌĆÖs Office, Middle takes no responsibility for the claims.
When contacted Tuesday morning, Mayor Dan Lockwood told The Gazette that there ŌĆ£is a lot more to the story,ŌĆØ but he declined to elaborate.
Middle Township Committee approved a settlement with Tilton on Dec. 17, according to Deputy Township Clerk Suzanne Stocker. A draft of the settlement agreement emailed to The Gazette Feb. 8 by the township clerk's office did not include signatures.
A tort claim, filed in October, states that Tilton was qualified to be deputy clerk and registrar of vital statistics for Middle Township, and at first she was included on a small list of candidates. A tort claim lets the municipality know that it could be sued.
She accused township officials of mentioning a civil suit Tilton had made against Galloway for harassment, retaliation and discrimination, which the tort claim states unfairly excluded her from working for Middle.
Tilton worked as Galloway TownshipŌĆÖs clerk and in December agreed on a $250,000 settlement, according to The GazetteŌĆÖs sister publication, The Current. She accused Galloway Township of hostile work environment, intimidation or retaliation.
MiddleŌĆÖs tort notice had been against current and former township employees and others.
She will receive $35,000 in the Middle Township settlement, including attorneys' fees, according to the documents. Her lawyer is Steven R. Srenaski of Phillipsburg, from Florio, Perrucci, Steinhardt & Fader LLC.
Tilton will receive $35,000 within 15 days of a fully signed agreement, according to a copy of the draft document. The fully signed agreement is expected to arrive at the township clerkŌĆÖs office within 10 days, Stocker said on Friday.
Srenaski could not be reached for comment for this story.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Frank!
Facts about Frank
- Breed: Boxer/Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Frank's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Frank was surrendered to the shelter in Nov. 2012 because the owner could no longer provide care for him. He is a friendly dog and gets along with other dogs but we do not know how he is with small children and cats. Frank is about 1 year old and up to date on shots.
Other Pets at Hancock County Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Frank, a New Cumberland Boxer/Hound (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in New Cumberland, or seeking a Boxer/Hound (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in New Cumberland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New Cumberland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a New Cumberland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Boxer/Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New Cumberland paves the way for another one to be saved.

Happy New Year to all... This is the first thing that blooms for me each year. This morning I noticed the blooms beginning to open and two wild bee's are already busy. Before long, the blooms will be covered with wild bee's. This plant produces many berries (Grapes) in late spring that drive the Mockingbirds wild. The leaves of the plant look a lot like holly. I grow it in shade at the base of the deck, in front of Confederate Jasmine vines. And to stay on topic, I can hardly wait for spring and the return of the little fluttering jewels we all enjoy. Mary Berberis aquifolium or Mahonia ~ Oregon Grape

Beautiful photo of a beautiful plant, Mary! I love the Mahonias. Do you have butterflies yet? I know its early, but some were around here so very late in the year - until mid-December for some. Susan |

Thank you, Susan. I'm always surprised to see these blooms in January. It seems it would be too cold here but so far, each January, there they are. And where do the wild bee's come from? They must roam about, even during the winter months. I need to google wild bee's and read more about them. As to Butterflies, I've seen no sign of the little jewels for some time. Since I've begun growing host and nectar plants and watching for them, I think the earliest I've noticed butterflies is March. BTW, did your growing zone change last year? We were considered 7b but last year we were changed to 8a. Mary |

Ironically, this "Oregon Grape" (state flower of Oregon) is not yet blooming in Oregon (although my related darwinii barberry always has some precocious winter blooms)! It will not be visited by a bee until March when usually a queen bumblebee hangs out on a daily basis. A hummingbird popped up from the bush some days ago when I exited the house. |
- Posted by susanlynne48 OKC7a (My Page) on Wed, Jan 16, 13 at 8:56
No, Mary, I am still 7a. I did notice that the very, very southernmost edge of Oklahoma, bordering Texas, is 8a now, as well as the Southeast corner. These used to be 7bs into Dallas, I believe. Larry, you still have some Anna's hanging around, or another species? Cool beans! Susan |
- Posted by larry_gene USDA8b-OregonPDX (My Page) on Wed, Jan 16, 13 at 22:42
Anna's tent to stick to the foothills or mountains around here, but it is possible for an urban sighting. Otherwise, rufous dominate in the city, though most head south for the winter. And thank you for acquainting me with the phrase "cool beans", that was not used here in the 60s. |

Beautiful picture, Mary! During the long warm spell, I noticed many weeds blooming, but no 'proper' flowers. It's turned cold now, so I don't know what the weeds are doing now. It's snowing heavily now in north Mississippi, not down here in the southern part of the state, but the pictures are amazing! Sherry |

Mary, Thanks for sharing! I have Mahonias but never really noticed the blooms! They get berries on them & the mockingbirds seem to be the first to eat them all up! I think the first thing that blooms here is my 2 Lenten Roses but have never seen any butterflies on them. Then the hyacinths I have planted...then the daffodils! Trees...redbud & Mexican plums are my first to bloom! I've seen some weeds especially dandelions blooming already as well as a purple flowered weed...henbit(Lamium amplexicaule)...I think! No BFs so far in 2013 but I do have my fruit feeder out still...just in case! What all BFs overwinter as adults??? Thanks, Lila |
- Posted by mary_littlerockar 8a-7b Central Arkans (My Page) on Fri, Jan 18, 13 at 19:32
Lila, I'm not certain. The Monarchs, we know, overwinter in Mexico as adults. Here in my area, some BST's overwinter in their chrysalides, and then emerge with warm spring weather. I'd guess that is the way most butterflies overwinter but don't know. Mary |
- Posted by susanlynne48 OKC7a (My Page) on Sat, Jan 19, 13 at 17:47
When I came home from my DDs today, I was greeted by a Question Mark butterfly fluttering around the trees in my yard. What a nice sighting! It was up in the 60s here today, and will be tomorrow. Char-Char and I wandered around the backyard today and I noticed the Henbit was beginning to bloom, as well as the little blue blooms of the Speedwell. Looking at my yard, the Mullein's big, grey-green foliage is green still - it usually is evergreen here - as is the Mountain Mint, Rosemary, Oregano and the Fennel is putting up new foliage, too. The old Honeysuckle vine has a bit of new foliage on it, and that's about all for now. Oh, the Azaleas are evergreen varieties. They were here when I moved in, so I don't know what kind they are. It's still January, after all. We just really, really need some moisture in whatever form it chooses. We are currently on water rationing because the lakes, ponds and rivers are down so much. Susan |

I have a border of irises and tulips along a stepping stone path to my patio, and I wanted to know of any suggestions for some summer-blooming bulbs to interplant in the next month or so, to help hide the foliage of these other varieties as they die off. Any suggestions? Thank you. |

Glads are easy and cheap. You can plant them every other week and have them bloom in stages. |
How about dahlias? They're not bulbs (I think), but act like them, come in about a million varieties and colors and are easy like bulbs. |

The Rams have figured out a way to entice fans to attend open training camp practices.
Included in the organization's concessions menu this year are 16-ounce Bud Light bottles that will cost $5. This is cheaper than the $6 smoked pork and sauced chicken sandwiches they are also selling.
Hey, the Rams just want their fans to have a good time while watching their favorite team's players practice. It probably didn't take much to bring the fans out to camp but this will certainly add an extra incentive to do so.
And for those that don't drink alcohol, apparently the sugar donut holes are pretty good, too.

Robinson BL et al. – Visual urethral mobility exam (VUME) is a diagnostic alternative to the Q–tip test for assessment of urethral hypermobility and is preferred by subjects.
Methods- Subjects were randomized to VUME or Q–tip test first, followed by the alternate assessment.
- Outcomes included hypermobile, not hypermobile, or indeterminate. Hypermobility was defined as ≥30° from the horizontal.
- Pain perception and test preference were assessed.
- For the 54 subjects, 61.1% demonstrated hypermobility on VUME versus 72.2% on Q–tip test (p=0.39).

Mitt Romney's Super Tuesday Bumper Stickers
Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, with several stat
Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, with several stat
So Donald Trump endorsed Republican presidential candidate (and fellow wealthy weenie) Mitt Romney in Las Vegas — because if there's one thing Nevadans need to hear, it's The Donald's empty-headed political opinion. And perhaps unsurprisingly — given Trump's bombast and Romney's ineptitude — plenty of revelatory comments came from the stage.
Much to the disgust of true patriotic Americans everywhere, Mitt Romney has been cynically ending each of his vacuous campaign speeches by reciting the words to "America the Beautiful". Yesterday, he went one further and sang (horrendously) the beloved national song. Here are a few verses for him to sing at future campaign stops.
Tonight, Fox unveils the Kiefer Sutherland drama Touch, about a 10-year-old boy who can't connect with other people. In the same time slot, MSNBC is premiering a similar show, about a 64-year-old presidential candidate with the same tragic problem. Here's hoping that one of these productions gets the axe come November.
This weekend Newt Gingrich scored a stunning upset in the South Carolina Republican Primary. How did the former speaker pull it off? Some shocking results from voter exit polls:
Today, Mitt Romney's campaign released a new Blu-ray set aimed at the children of potential voters. It's considered a brilliant political move. Even if Romney doesn't win this time around, the set will position him well for the 2024 election, when all these kids are of voting age.
There's a new version of Monopoly based on Mitt Romney's run for the Presidency. Here's an exclusive look at some of the cards from the game.

Doctor Who Drops in on Nativity Scene
Nativity scenes could use some spicing up. I'm sick and tired of seeing sheep and donkeys and the three wise men. We need to make nativities more geeky. And this is a great way to start. By introducing the Fourth Doctor into the scene. Maybe he can offer baby Jesus a Jelly Baby.
Although, I personally think the Doctor should be Matt Smith. And forget Joseph and Mary too. If you use Matt Smith, you have to use Amy and Rory, with a Weeping Angel behind them, while they all look over a baby River song. But that's just me. I'm more geeky than religious, though.
Maybe the three wise men can be Cybermen in robes. Hmmm. I might just have to make one of these for myself.

Comments (1):
Wouldn't Tennant be more appropriate, along with "Genny", who's Virgin Birth (she's a clone remember) was supposed to go along with the whole "Lonely God" subline. Add Martha and Donna and a weeping angel and you'd be all set.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is EBear!
Facts about EBear
- Breed: Bullmastiff
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
- Sex: Male
EBear's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Ebear is an adult neutered male bullmastiff. He is purebred and very big and strong. He lived most of his life in a kennel so he needs work on basic obedience. He is very sweet and craves attention. He loves to cuddle and play with his toys. He needs to be an only dog and definitely no cats. He would be fine with older children, but due to his size small children or toddlers are not appropriate. Ebear is a wonderful dog who is looking for his own forever home with a single person or family willing to work with him and help him become the wonderful companion he wants to be. If you are interested in meeting Ebear, please contact Dawn at 602-677-8034.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
EBear, a Phoenix Bullmastiff dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Bullmastiff for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Bullmastiff dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Bullmastiff breeders who help with Bullmastiff rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.
