Title of project: __________________________

Format of Presentation: (oral, poster, document, etc.) ____________________________

Brief Description:

-------

Where: Florida Center for Teachers (FCT) 118

When: May 1, 2:30-5:00 PM

What: Writing Program Showcase

Who: All ENC sections

Options: display or present. Presentations will be 5 minutes in length. If you wish to present, contact Dr. Jill McCracken by April 17th. Submit digital materials (urls, powerpoints, email describing poster) by April 27th.

Nota Bene: the Final Showcase is not mandatory, but I strongly encourage you to participate in this event, which Dr. McCracken has inititiated--all current ENC sections are invited to participate. Even if you do not wish to make a 5 minute presentation (Community Literacy group: we could form groups as a way to compress the MZHS projects and narratives into a few presentations. Gamers: we could create a few games designed to let attendees navigate the wiki), I strongly encourage you to display your projects on laptops and/or in poster formats. I expect the atmosphere to be lively and fun....more a "bazaar" than a "cathedral" (cf Eric Raymond), and this project fair should provide a stimulating context for meeting USFSP peers. This is the first time all ENC sections have had a "common final" schedule block, and this is the pilot version of what will become a required Final Showcase event for all ENC courses, beginning this summer. Pilot to copilots: let's do this! Gamers: let's play!
