Thursday APRIL 3?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Hello again and happy Super Tuesday!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So far it looks like most of us are available at 9 AM on Thursday April 3--
so let's do it! Kathleen and I will be back to you soon with a meeting
place and an agenda.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If anyone has serious objections to this time/day, please let us
know. Some of us don't have funding to stay for the entire week and many
of us still need to make travel plans-- so Thursday morning seems to be the best
compromise.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ALSO-- looking forward to hearing which sessions you would like to
review. I'd like to send out a CFP to the CBW and WPA lists for other
reviews as well. Again, let me know if there are any objections.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks and best,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Susan<BR> </DIV>

everyone!<BR><BR>It's almost that time of year again. 2 months from
today we will<BR>reconvene at the CBW workshop in New
Orleans. Kathleen and I will<BR>talk soon to draft an
agenda. Meanwhile here are some items for
your<BR>consideration:<BR><BR>1) Executive Board Meeting: Let's
plan a date/time for this meeting<BR>before our dance cards get too
full. I'd like the propose that we<BR>meet at Thursday April 3 at 8
AM. This date/time will allow folks to<BR>attend the WPA breakfast
-- and will help out those of us who won't be<BR>able to stay for Friday or
Saturday.<BR><BR>If this time/date doesn't work for you, please suggest
another.<BR><BR>2) Last year Kathleen and I attended a dynamite session on
Mina<BR>Shaunessy's legacy at CUNY. I believe it was Mary Soliday
who<BR>reminded us that Mina Shaughnessy used to assign her colleagues
to<BR>attend CCCC sessions related to Basic Writing so that they
could<BR>review together important trends in the field.<BR><BR>Kathleen and I
agreed that we wanted to try this strategy for 2008.<BR>So we'd like to
propose that each of us on the Executive Board choose<BR>at least one session
to attend and to briefly review. We would like<BR>to publish these
reviews in a forthcoming issue of BWe.<BR><BR>To find a session of interest to
you, please complete the following steps:<BR><BR>--Go to the CCCC searchable
program at <A
href="http://www.ncte.org/CCCC/program/">http://www.ncte.org/CCCC/program/</A><BR><BR>--Go
to KEY WORD and type in BASIC WRITING. You can also go
to FOCUS<BR>and scroll down to BASIC WRITING. However, KEY WORD
will yield more<BR>sessions-- and happily there are a lot of them this
year.<BR><BR>--Write back to Kathleen and me by February 22 stating which
session<BR>you would like to<BR>review. We'd like to request that
you not review your<BR>own presentations (wonderful as those will be!)-- but
to choose<BR>something that is perhaps new to you or outside of your
area. This<BR>way we'll be able to cover a good cross section of
the interesting<BR>work that our colleagues are doing across the
country.<BR><BR>Thanks so much for your continued committment to
CBW. Kathleen and I<BR>look forward to hearing from you
soon!<BR><BR>Peace and happy Groundhog Day,<BR><BR>Susan Naomi
Bernstein<BR>Co-chair, Conference on Basic Writing<BR>LaGuardia Community
College, CUNY<BR><BR>PS For those of you who don't know yet-- due to the
confluence of many<BR>serendipitous circumstances-- I am now living and
working in Queens, NY.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
