John, I brought up the latest thread on having too many subjects or areas addressed in one class. I can't decide if I'm in favor of splitting them up into separate classes, but something needs to be changed. I like the variety of topics and lessons in my classes at my community college. I teach the beginning composition class and the class on argumentative resesarch. I think it would be fun to teach a class on spelling, actually. Imagine teaching a class just on punctuation. There could be a lot of writing and reading and discussion. Sentence structure and grammar would be addressed as well as semantics. I wonder if this is ever done. -- Christine Reintjes Martin [log in to unmask] ----Original Message Follows---- From: "John E.
