Hi Anne, Thanks so much for putting your stuff online - I am referring a dear friend of mine at Southern Cross Uni, who has just been invited to teach academic writing to Indigenous kids in the Aboriginal Studies Centre - she doesn't have any writing pedagogy - she is brilliant at other things, but she needs a sequenced structure. I told her I was privileged to have been trained by teaching your syllabus - and there you are online, so no ethics probs for me! I was going to email and ask if I could pass on some stuff I still have, like the guide the ss had in Trencin. Hope all well, I think of you from time to time, and have good memories. Email if the urge takes you!!! Taja nudged Dave, and he actually emailed me the other day - amazing. Di Roy (was Chenoweth)
