Volunteer+Letter

=Letter to Faculty asking for Volunteers=

Dear Colleagues, With the desire to support our adjuncts teaching in our writing programs better, the Composition, Developmental, and ESL committees are writing to ask for your help in constructing Course-In-A-Box packets. These packets will be kept in digital format so that the adjunct faculty can easily access and adapt them for their own use. At this point in time the committees are looking for volunteers to build individual Course-In-A-Box packets while they teach this fall.

To develop robust packets for the adjuncts we would require the following material: To give more theoretical and pedagogical guidance, we would also desire the following components: All submissions must be made in electronic format so that adjunct instructors can easily adapt for themselves. We would greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to save his/her material throughout the semester and then submit a Course-In-A-Box packet at the end of the semester. We are looking for materials to supplement the following courses: ENG061, ENG071, ENG101, ENG102, ENG107, and ENG108.
 * Syllabus (with both policies and schedule/calendar sections)
 * Major Writing Assignment Prompts (with rubrics or grading sheets)
 * Lesson Plans
 * Activity Assignment Prompts
 * Tests/Quizzes with the Answer Keys
 * Teaching Philosophy
 * Annotations that contextualize the required items--the "hows" and "whys" of your thinking in the assignments
 * Semester Timeline w/Tips

If you are interested, please email Shelley Rodrigo [|(rrodrigo@mail.mc.maricopa.edu]) with your name, the course number, and the name/s (and editions) of the textbook/s you are using.

If you volunteer, we will be sending along encouraging emails throughout the semester to remind you to keep collecting your materials.

Thanks in advance for your hard work and commitment to the department, The Composition, Developmental, and ESL committees.

PS--if you have to do an FEP this year, this would be a GREAT project!!
