[CBW_Exec] NCoW and Basic Writing

[Shannon Carter]

Hi, all--

Later in August, the National Conversation on Writing will be rolling out the brand new site and a coupled with a communications kit to invite writing teachers, administrators, and literacy workers more generally to join in to help change the national conversation on writing. 

NCoW would LOVE to feature basic writing in this effort, so I/we are hopeful CBW can endorse such an effort via a communications kit directly targeted at basic writing folks. Can you take a look at the draft attached and see what you think? 

Also: in that kit you'll see a link to the first draft of the video we developed from that great footage we took at the last CBW. It's now at the NCoW site, and we aired at that the WPA conference earlier this month. We'll be revising again soon and we hope it'll be ready to review for an upcoming issue of BWe. Love to hear what you think about tht. The rest of hte raw footage is available in the NCoW archives, which you can also find at www.ncow.org/site


LOVE to hear what you think. We hope to roll all this out late in August, and much has happened in recent weeks. Thanks for any feedback you can offer. 

Yours, 
shannon
