<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks, Barbara and Susan, for your feedback and ideas. I hadn't made any changes to the text at all--just brought the text from the website into a flyer to follow Greg's lead with respect to the Award for Innovation call he handed out at the SIG. . . oh and change the contact info from mine to Sonya's. But it seems like a good time to do that.<BR>
<BR>
And we should certainly make any changes necessary to make it as legible as possible.<BR>
<BR>
I like everything I've heard thus far. Any ideas for wording, especially on items that involve a newer and complex concept like social justice (not an obvious part of the current call). I very much appreciate the ideas for wording that Barbara has added below.<BR>
<BR>
Sonya--wanna take a stab at that revision? The text on the flyer isn't directly available for edit as I had to send it through as a pdf, but I think I can do so as Word (I'm new to the mac) and all the text can also be found online from the 2008 Fellowship call (google "conference on basic writing").<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for this conversation!<BR>

<BR>
Dear Shannon and Sonya,<BR>
Thank you for putting this fellowship announcement together and also for<BR>
sharing it with us. The graphics and layout look professional and the information<BR>
provided is clear and straightforward. I think CBW listserv is a great place<BR>
to place the add and I'm sure it'll appear on the CBW web page. Will the<BR>
announcement also appear on some additional listservs and web pages?<BR>
<BR>
The Text:<BR>
It's my eyes and age, I'm sure, but there may be other readers who experience<BR>
something similar: I find the main text a bit hard to read due to font size<BR>
and brightness: might the text be larger or bolder?<BR>
<BR>
Who May Apply:<BR>
I have a question about who qualifies for this award: Does an applicant have<BR>
to be currently teaching a "basic writing class" in a college? Or might others<BR>
who are teaching nontraditional students introductory writing classes also<BR>
qualify? For example: individuals who teach composition in a college that no<BR>
longer offers basic writing? Or teachers of writing in programs for returning<BR>
adults? Or teachers of writing in ESL programs?<BR>
<BR>
Disseminating Information:<BR>
I read Susan's comment on this part of the proposal requirement. My sense of<BR>
things this past year (as a reader of the fellowship proposals) was that the<BR>
plan to disseminate information was a key part of the proposal. Let's keeep<BR>
that point clear if wording is changed. In fact, we might want to add a short<BR>
list of criteria for proposal evaluations (e.g., a well-defined plan for sharing<BR>
ideas with colleagues is one criterion for evaluation).<BR>
<BR>
Warmly, Barbara<BR>
<BR>
