[CBW_Exec] FW: CBW Workshop: Two Requests

[Shannon Carter]

Sounds like a great choice for you for the day, particularly given the
investments in research of the ALP program. You¹ll be missed, Peter! But
perhaps we¹ll bump into one another at coffee.

And certainly at the EB meeting and the SIG, I¹m hoping.

Thanks!
Shannon

I will not be able to make it to the workshop this year, but I'm sure it
will be a great success nevertheless.  I will be just down the hall at the
Research Network Forum.  Our new ALP program is heavily invested in
research, so I need to see what I can learn from those folks.  See you at
the EB meeting and the SIG.

My congratulations to everyone on an amazing array of accomplishments.  I
was especially impressed with what we all do in the rest of our lives.

Hi, all-- 

In preparation for the CBW Workshop (in two days! Gulp!), we have just a
couple of requests:

1. Facilitators:  We ended up having to make some hard decisions on the
application as far as names were concerns since we were limited to 12 (ugh!
CCCC mandate from the year before). We went with folks who we untenured or
otherwise, from our very limited ability to research such issues given time
constraints and other things, seemingly in great needs of being actually
*on* the program. 

But we need all hands we can get. We see lots of discussion happening in
this workshop and we are hoping to strategically place all the EB folks at
tables throughout the room to help facilitate discussion during our many
breakout group activities.

Are you available for that? We'll introduce you EB folks at the beginning of
the workshop and as you to raise your hand so we can identify you. You'll be
our go-to folks during the workshop.  Your names will also be included on
the flyer that lists all the Executive Board members and info about BWe,
CBW, and urls.  (flyer attached<thanks, Susan, for generating this!)

If you are available, we also invite you join us at the workshop room at
8:15  so we can talk through plans and get you strategically located
throughout the room (spread relatively evenly amongst our participants).

2. Camera? Do you have a camcorder/still camera/audio recorder you can bring
with you to SF? I will have five flipcameras and a handful of audio
recorders to share with participants during our workshop (see
³NCoW-CBWworkshop2009² document attached).  The more the better.

During the 11:00 session (Basic Writing and the National Conversation on
Writing), we¹ll be capturing audio and video from interviews with
participants. We¹ll take this footage back to A&M-Commerce and develop a
video response to NCoW¹s call for stories about writing and writers. The
theme will be something like ³talking back²--a productive response from
basic writing students and their teachers to the literacy crisis. A positive
response that, we hope, will help change the story about writing and writers
to something more positive and productive.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing everyone very soon!
