<BR>
So, Exec Board--<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
What do you think about the idea of doing a half-day Wednesday workshop from CBW in the morning, and requesting that it not compete with ALP which could do a workshop in the afternoon? Not that they'd be proposed as part of same workshop, but but explicitly asking they not conflict and acknowleding similar draws?<BR>

If that's okay with you two, it would be great for us. I do think it would be good to run it past the EB.<BR>

Yes, perhaps we should propose a half day each, if folks think a good idea. Send to EB?<BR>

I was part of a generation of kids who saw something special about what it means to be human--something bloody and dramatic and scandalous that happened right here in America--and hip-hop was our way of reporting that story, telling it to ourselves and to the world...the story of the hustler was the story hip-hop was born to tell...hustling is the ultimate metaphor for the basic human struggles: the struggle to survive and resist...to win and make sense of it all. --from Jay-Z, Decoded (2010)<BR>

Liz makes an interesting suggestion. If we each did a half day workshop, we would be offering to basic writing workshops without competing for audience. A different way to compromise would be for us simply to postpone our idea a year, which we'd certainly be willing to do. Or, we could take the risk of offering both and letting those proverbial "chips" fall.<BR>
<BR>
Would you like to see what the EB says about the question?<BR>

I agree, Peter, that if you feel like there is enough energy to do a workshop just devoted to ALP--do it and let the chips fall where they may.<BR>

Hi Peter,<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Hope you're well. I think it's definitely important for you to have an<BR>
audience for ALP at CCCC. Is there someway we might join forces? For<BR>
example, if you did an ALP workshop from 9-12 and then joined us from<BR>
1-4? Or, would that make your day too short? Just brainstorming here.<BR>

Hannah and Liz,<BR>
<BR>
As you know, at CCBC we have developed an accelerated approach to basic<BR>
writing we call ALP, which has met with considerable success in<BR>
improving students' success rates. More than twenty schools across the<BR>
nation are now piloting some sections of ALP and many more are<BR>
interested.<BR>
<BR>
My colleagues and I have been thinking about proposing a pre-conference<BR>
workshop at CCCC on starting up ALP but we are worried about the effect<BR>
that might have on the CBW workshop. On the one hand, it might be a<BR>
sign of the healthiness of basic writing if there were two workshops,<BR>
both on basic writing. In the other hand, we might end up splitting the<BR>
audience and ending up with 15 or 20 at each session.<BR>
<BR>
So I thought I'd ask what you think. Would you view our offering such a<BR>
workshop as a sign of the health of the field or as a competition that<BR>
is unhealthy for both of us?<BR>
