Post #2: Error!

Dear class,
My second blog post question for you all didn't show up (thank you, Lucy, for letting me know!), so don't worry about your blog post that is due today.
See you soon!
Ms. Liu
p.s. And no blog response for tonight either. Just make sure you've caught up on all your reading and are prepared for Wednesday's in-class essay.

Post #1: First Reading Response

For your first discussion/reading post, go ahead and do the HW reading in Viewpoints ("To Err" and "In Praise").

Then, answer the following 2 questions (write 1 paragraph for each question):
1) Read "To Err is Wrong." Out of all his arguments in favor of making errors, what do you think von Oech's strongest points are? Why?
2) Read "In Praise of the F word." Do you agree that fear of failure can motivate students?

Due: Wed, 2/4, before class
