[CBW_Exec] National Survey

[Shannon Carter]

Hi, Rebecca and Deborah--

The survey is SO quick and easy, and it really looks like it¹ll yield some
excellent information. I only have two suggestions:

1. For the approach to basic writing, I wonder if it might be
possible/useful to include an ³other² category and require that users fill
in the blank. Ours is informed by Bartholomae and Petrosky, but it is also
very heavily informed by work from the New London Group, activity theory,
and the Writing About Writing movement (ala Downs and Wardle, among others).
So I selected B&P, but it wasn¹t exactly right for us.
2. The final page asks if we are willing to be contacted for more questions
but in my browser I don¹t actually have access to the fields necessary to
add any contact information. I used Safari, though. I haven¹t tried it in
Firefox or a much more common browser, so it may just be a problem for mac
users who default to safari. Or maybe just this mac user. :) Just fyi,
though. 

Thanks for these excellent revisions. And Kelly too, in all her
fabulousness!
