I've just been hired to teach a rhetoric & comp. course this summer, and I'd be grateful for any teaching resources that people might be able to recommend.

Nearly all of my teaching experience so far has been in communication studies and this is my first foray into teaching in an English department (ihow I ended up in this position in the first place is a long story). I've previously taught rhetoric courses in communication departments, so I feel like I have general grip on the subject matter, but I have to admit that I'm not very up-to-date on composition pedagogy. Any advice would be appreciated.

What level?  Comp I or II?  Are you guided by the dept. to teach modes, genres, argumentation, lit-based.....?  Is there a standard text (usually the case for adjuncts/new people to the dept.)?
