I Miss You Folks and Hope to See You Nov 9

Hi Everybody,

Hey, I'm totally psyched to spend an evening with everyone. Nov 9th is a chance to get together and share and reflect. It's going to mostly social (conversation and snacks). Please respond with a comment or new post to let us know if you can come. Can I count you guys to start calling each other and checking in? I hope to hear from you soon!

Don

Hey, everyone.

I am sitting at the OACHE conference in St. Clairsville now. I actually ran into Tia here! How is everyone doing? Is anyone planning on going to the workshop in November? Hope you are all having a terrific year!

November 9th Workshop: "An Evening of Conversation and Connections"

On Friday, November 9th, we at the Ohio University Appalachian Writing Project will be hosting the first of our non-summer events that are intended for our First Summer Institute Fellows. This workshop, which we are calling "An Evening of Conversation and Connections," will be shorter than most and held from 5:30-7:30 pm in our new and spacious Faculty Commons, third floor of Alden Library, where the Center for Writing Excellence and the Appalachian Writing Project are not located.

We will hold an event, gathering, or workshop once per season, so expect an update in the coming months on winter and spring plans.

On November 9th, we hope to catch up, share pedagogical strategies, collectively chart where we want our future workshops to head, and perhaps do a little writing on our own (which you probably saw coming!). We will have appetizers and we hope the evening will feel more informal than a usual daytime workshop in a classroom proper.

After 5 pm, you may park in campus lots that are marked Purple and/or Dark Green. We recommend lot #84 beside Clippinger Hall on University Terrace (see http://www.ohiou.edu/athens/parking/ for a parking map), but you have many options. The Clippinger lot is the one that most of you parked in this past summer.

If you can join us on November 9th, RSVP to Nathan Shepley at ns327905@ohio.edu by October 18th. If you have questions about this or other workshops, feel free to contact Nathan at the email address above or contact the AWP generally (awp@ohio.edu).

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you again!

Critical Annotated Bibliographies--2007

We now have several of the critical annotated bibliographies from the 2007 Summer Institute up. To view them, go here. As you can see, we've posted many but not all of them; some were more readily available than others. If you do not see yours and would like to make it available to others, please send a copy of it to Nathan at ns327905@ohio.edu or to awp@ohio.edu. Thanks!

Teacher Demonstration Materials

Hi everyone. I'm Nathan Shepley, a new co-director of the Appalachian Writing Project. During the presentation day of last summer's Institute, I slipped in for a few minutes, just after lunch I think, and was amazed by the readings I was lucky enough to hear.

Anyway, I'm writing to let you know that the handouts and guides that accompany your teaching demonstrations from the summer 2007 Institute are now available online. Go here, which will lead you to a simple supplemental AWP website, and once there, click on the link to download the pdf file.

Hope to see and chat with you more soon! Future workshops are being planned!
