Call for Proposals
5th Annual Teaching of Writing Colloquia
Saturday, April 21, 2001
Kent State University=97Stark Campus, Canton, Ohio
We invite you to join us for a day of talking about the teaching of
writing. We invite proposals for workshops, roundtables, panels,
and individual presentations. Although proposals on composition
theory are welcome, we are especially interested in proposals that
share actual classroom activities. We invite submissions from high
school and college faculty as well as graduate and undergraduate
students. This conference has traditionally been a forum to
promote the faculty development of part-time and adjunct teachers,
so we especially encourage their participation.
Suggested topics include but are not limited to: course design,
classroom activities, writing and classroom assignments, writing
prompts, developmental writing, working with writing centers,
working with disabled students, ESL, multiculturalism, diversity in
the classroom, text selection, literature for composition, technical
writing, business writing, using portfolios, evaluating student
writing, computers in the classroom, reading in the writing
classroom, writing across the curriculum, research strategies,
teaching the research paper, and connections between the
teaching of writing at the high school and college levels.
Sessions will last one hour, fifteen minutes. Submissions should
include your name, job title, address, academic affiliation(s),
phone, and e-mail address as well as presentation title, a brief (100-
200 word) abstract, and the type of submission (twenty-minute
presentation or seventy-five minute workshop, roundtable, or three
presenter panel). In addition, please note if you need special
equipment such as an overhead projector, tv/vcr, computerized
projection display or if you would like your session scheduled in a
computer lab with word processing software or internet capabilities.
