The Autumn issue of the Inkshed Newsletter is now available at this address: http://www.stu.ca/inkshed/nlettc04/index.htm The pdf file will be up in a day or two. This issue contains many words worth your time. Jim Gough writes about reading, and specifically about how the writing and reading dynamic has evolved in his Women and Philosophy course. Wendy Kraglund-Gauthier leads us towards zen-like insights waiting for students at the Saint Francis Xavier writing center. Margaret Procter explains why Gerald Graff would call Chicago students (and others) clueless. Carl Leggo explores the alphabet as a scaffolding strategy in three poems. Russ Hunt takes another kick at the Microsoft can, with Amanda Goldrick-Jones contributing her own dent or two. We hope you'll take a look at engage some of the things that we've been thinking about as we edited this issue. While we'd love to hear from you directly, we'd be even happier if you posted your positions on these concerns: setting up an optional peer review policy to be posted on the website, re-thinking the internet-only publication method, and anonymity when quoting student work in the Newsletter.
