Good Day So Far

What I've helped with so far:

The project on mental illness + creativity: going from the student saying, "Yes, there is a connection" to figuring out what connection she sees. Specifics!

Research on Dr. Seuss + historical/social context: looking for direction and questions, narrowing the focus, learning that Cat in the Hat was written to combat illiteracy.

Rhetoric: explaining logos, pathos, and ethos to those about to persuade; getting four students knee-deep into their potential arguments.
