<FONT SIZE="4"><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Sounds like a great choice for you for the day, particularly given the investments in research of the ALP program. You’ll be missed, Peter! But perhaps we’ll bump into one another at coffee. <BR>
<BR>
And certainly at the EB meeting and the SIG, I’m hoping. <BR>

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. <BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>

<BR>
Hi, all-- <BR>
<BR>
In preparation for the CBW Workshop (in two days! Gulp!), we have just a <BR>
couple of requests: <BR>
<BR>
1. Facilitators: We ended up having to make some hard decisions on the <BR>
application as far as names were concerns since we were limited to 12 (ugh! <BR>
CCCC mandate from the year before). We went with folks who we untenured or <BR>
otherwise, from our very limited ability to research such issues given time <BR>
constraints and other things, seemingly in great needs of being actually <BR>
*on* the program. <BR>
<BR>
But we need all hands we can get. We see lots of discussion happening in <BR>
this workshop and we are hoping to strategically place all the EB folks at <BR>
tables throughout the room to help facilitate discussion during our many <BR>
breakout group activities. <BR>
<BR>
Are you available for that? We'll introduce you EB folks at the beginning of <BR>
the workshop and as you to raise your hand so we can identify you. You'll be <BR>
our go-to folks during the workshop. Your names will also be included on <BR>
the flyer that lists all the Executive Board members and info about BWe, <BR>
CBW, and urls. (flyer attached<thanks, Susan, for generating this!) <BR>
<BR>
If you are available, we also invite you join us at the workshop room at <BR>
8:15 so we can talk through plans and get you strategically located <BR>
throughout the room (spread relatively evenly amongst our participants). <BR>
<BR>
2. Camera? Do you have a camcorder/still camera/audio recorder you can bring <BR>
with you to SF? I will have five flipcameras and a handful of audio <BR>
recorders to share with participants during our workshop (see <BR>
“NCoW-CBWworkshop2009” document attached). The more the better. <BR>
<BR>
During the 11:00 session (Basic Writing and the National Conversation on <BR>
Writing), we’ll be capturing audio and video from interviews with <BR>
participants. We’ll take this footage back to A&M-Commerce and develop a <BR>
video response to NCoW’s call for stories about writing and writers. The <BR>
theme will be something like “talking back”--a productive response from <BR>
basic writing students and their teachers to the literacy crisis. A positive <BR>
response that, we hope, will help change the story about writing and writers <BR>
to something more positive and productive. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks! Looking forward to seeing everyone very soon! <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
