Some ideas on teaching English from Teaching English in the Two-Year College (TETYC), a publication of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).
Scale of the value of each idea to me, RayS.
* Not much interest
** I'll think about it.
*** Very much interested

How provide topics for freshman composition courses?
Author teaches freshman composition, using a theme--the paranormal--as the source of topics. LJ Black. TETYC (May 07), 405-413.
[Problematical for a number of reasons--lack of interest on the part of students for one--but an interesting idea. RayS.] **
How teach students to revise their writing?
Students practice writing timed essays like the state-mandated writing exam. Then the teacher encourages students to revise them. NL Remer. TETYC. (May 07), 414-419. ***
Other topics: What to do when students tell too much about their personal lives; first-year freshman composition teachers without experience in teaching writing collaborated to learn from each other; digital literature. Sorry, but these ideas were not of interest to me, RayS.
