I've drafted a "Heuristic for Teaching" at A Writing Teacher's Blog, hoping for comment, critique, and suggestions from comp colleagues. The heuristic can be found at http://faculty.deanza.fhda.edu/jocalo/stories/storyReader$836

I want to refine the heuristic in ways that comp teachers would find helpful and credible and then use it to reorganize my last year's blog entries. All responses valued.
