Hi, I am new to this but thought you all could help me out. I teach a mutlimedia unit on the Holocaust in Language Arts grade 8. I am looking to make this more dynamic by inviting others to join our class. I use a room through nicnet.org ( free and terrific for those interesting in linking computers for writing). I wanted to try a reading circle group using Holocaust literature and students from other schools. Each book is pretty short 100-180 pages and are set up for lots of discussions. I have alist of titles and would share with any interested.

I am writing to see if you or someone you know may be interested in a possible position at the University of South Florida. My department may have two, one-year instructor appointments available next year with the possibility of renewal for up to three years. If these positions become available, we will be seeking specialists in rhetoric and composition and may consider doctoral students.

We would be looking for someone with 1) strong background in rhet/comp theory and pedagogy; 2) effectiveness in teaching first-year composition; 3) successful integration of new technologies in computers and composition; 4) research pursuits appropriate to a 4/4 teaching load; 5) the ability to assume leadership and/or mentoring responsibilities in an evolving composition program as called upon by the director.
