The conference is aimed at kindergarten through college-level educators who teach writing. wrt 2 lrn is a follow up to the Redwood Writing Project's (RWP) summer conference in which educators share their knowledge and explore collaborative ways of developing training for their colleagues. This year, the RWP fellows have organized their findings from the summer meeting and will share them at Saturday's conference. An array of workshops will feature timely topics and themes that will include Writing with English Language Learners, Technology Trends and Today's Writing Classroom. The workshop Textists vs. Textperts will feature a panel discussion of local K-16 educators and students. They will lead participants in addressing two underlying questions: can the language of text messaging be used in an academic setting and what are the effects of text language on today's writing? Attendees have a choice of four workshops from fourteen options. Lunchtime will feature two alternatives: an open mike poetry read or a "read around," in which writers share feedback and writing techniques. Pre-registration fee for the conference is $45.00 and includes a box lunch. Those wishing to earn one-half unit of university credit will have a total registration/tuition fee of $60.00. To register online, visit www.humboldt.edu/~rwp or call the RWP office at 826-5109 for details.
