Upcoming Saturday Seminars: Winter 2010

On January 9, 2010, the Saturday Seminar entitled "Writing to a Prompt: Getting Your Students Ready for ISTEP" will be offered from 8:30-11:30AM. This session will aid participants in creating a writing cycle that approaches "writing to a prompt" as a manageable genre. This Saturday Seminar will be held in Room 292 of the Robert Bell Building, Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana 47306.

Additionally, on Saturday, April 10, 2010, IWP will host "An Introduction to Writing Workshop," especially for current undergraduates and those new to the concept of Writing Workshop. This seminar will include a 10:00AM-12:00PM session introducing participants to the features and structure of Writing Workshop; then, from 1:00-4:00PM, attendees will observe Writing Workshop in action during a visit to IWP's 'Comp Camp'. All activities for this seminar will occur in the Robert Bell Building on campus at Ball State University.

The Indiana Writing Project is proud to offer a special student registration fee of only $10 for each of our winter 2010 Saturday Seminars. You can register online or by contacting the IWP office via e-mail at iwp@bsu.edu.

The Power of Writing in Our Community: Veterans Day

In commemoration of Veterans Day 2009, Jane Adams (TC 2009) encouraged her third grade students at Alexandria-Monroe Intermediate School to compose letters to the guests of honor at the school corporation's upcoming community-wide Veterans Day program.

Following the program, The Herald Bulletin newspaper featured the front-page article "Student's Letter Touches Guardsman". Visit the link above to read Dave Stafford's article that details the connection writing fostered between a student and a veteran.
