"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."--William Butler Yeats

"We live at the level of our language. Whatever we can articulate, we can imagine or understand or explore. All you have to do to educate a child is leave him alone and teach him to read. --from the journals of Ellen Gilchrist

I teach in the Language Arts Division at De Anza College in Cupertino, California. In Winter 2012 I am teaching one section of LART 211 on the theme of "Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise," with co-teacher Julie Pesano. We meet M-Th in L-73. Most weeks, I teach on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Julie teaches on Mondays and Wednesdays. My office hour will be on Thursdays from 12 noon-1pm in F61L (sharing office with Julie Pesano).

Please plan on purchasing these required materials:

1. Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise course pack, which will be available only at the De Anza Bookstore for about $33.

2. The Color of Water by James McBride (available at most bookstores and online; a used copy is OK)

It is especially important that you buy the course pack for the first week of class so as not to fall behind. The Color of Water is not needed until after the midterm.

Hope to see you around campus, or you may e-mail me at Panfilinatalie@fhda.edu.
