Peter,
Thanks so much for the link to the video about architecture, math, computers, Africa, and patterns.

I try to bring all this together in my Teaching Grammar with Poetry books from Scholastic--not really a publisher know to print heavy duty theory. However in the last chapter I try to pull in the theories that lead to my approach from sources like Cambourne and Vygotsky.
I am the proverbial lurker on this listserv, and I do enjoy many of the papers and posts.
