Long DescriptionFor John Gaughan, preparing his students for life is just as important as preparing them for college. He doesn't sacrifice one for the other; he just uses different content. Instead of ignoring the controversial issues that emerge from discussions of gender, race, and sexuality, he addresses these issues head on in the literature and writing he assigns. This is the kind of teaching Gaughan advocates in Reinventing English -teaching that occurs in the contact zone. Reinventing English is about creating opportunities in the English classroom for students to become thoughtful, committed citizens. It is about encouraging them to air their views honestly and forthrightly. The pedagogy that Gaughan uses is process based. In addition to strategies for writing about reading, creating learning centers, and writing in multiple genres, he discusses activities to promote discussion, stimulate debate, and rethink first thoughts. To help you get started, the book includes handouts for a number of these strategies, including ones for four-corner debates, writing poems for two voices, and working in literature circles. Such teaching can be risky business. It may offend the sensibilities of students, parents, administrators, and colleagues. Some teachers may not find these risks worth taking. It would be safer to remain in the comfort zone and avoid messy confrontations about class and culture, sex and sexuality. But would we be sparing our students similar confrontations later in life?

Site News and Events

The download page has been updated!

As our site has grown, we have gotten more requests for data and image downloads. When we were small we handled these by hand and then later added a little automation. Now we have cleaned it up and made it easier to use.

Today we made it easier to see what it is we have to offer by cleaning up the look of the download page. We present more information to users before they log in to the system.

We cleaned up the purchase section of the page a great deal. Our downloads are not free (except for the sample data) and in the past, each download had to be purchased one at a time. now you can select multiple items and pay just once.

We made our pricing considerably easier to understand. We have always given discounts if you have already made a purchase. But it could be a little confusing because if you hand't purchased, you would see one price (the full price). But after your purchase you could return to the download page and see different prices. This confused people and they though that they over paid. Now the full price is displayed clearly all the time and instead of showing reduced prices, we now list a DISCOUNT as part of your order. And in your transaction history, your discount will always be visible to you.

Finally, we made it easier to get to your download once you have made a purchase. Right in your transaction history, the links to your downloads are easier to understand. When you download a file, the system will know if you have successfully downloaded, you are in the process of downloading, or if you ran into issues while downloading (or canceled). The status of your download is clearly identified.

We hope that these changes make the download page easier for you to use and understand. Feel free to send us your feedback about the page.
