Teaching English 101 to low ability students: developing a research topic


Because students often did not attend class, and the text book was not appropriate to their reading level, I made an effort to provide the materials required in a way that the students could access them any time and any place they might wish. Fortunately youtube offers a wealth of such materials.

Since part of learning to do academic writing, or any sort of writing for that matter, is to choose an appropriate topic and develop it in an appropriate way, I devoted a class to that topic.

When it comes to research paper topics, there's a lot of fine materials out there and here are some of my favorities.

As with most writing topic, the Purdue Owl contains useful materials:

But youtube has many materials as well.
