Cult of Pedagogy

Cult of Pedagogy:
Teaching the Art of Argumentative Writing

The above article I found quite interesting and informative.  Please take a look.

The blog Cult of Pedagogy is a great site to review and peruse over the summer.  Please take a look and find some of their interesting articles for summer reading and leading up to September.  It will be here sooner than we would like.

Enjoy the summer and be well.
