FYWP Showcase Updates!

so, we're going to put in a proposal fro the fywp showcase. we need to get that in by april 15th. I agree with Jeff that we should do pre-existing work. We'll all be busy and stress-out. I like making a big letter (we can do that in class), but what should the letter be of? Someone's letter? If so, we'll have to figure out whose letter.

I think the proposal writing committee is Gina, Sarah, and Rob (let me know if I got that wrong). I don't think it will take you very long to write it. If want, we could work on it before or after class one day this week.

Jeff's the president and Ben is the VP. This means that they are in charge of making sure this thing happens. We'll all be on the First Year Writing Program Showcase Committee.

Questions, Comments, Concerns????

I can't really work on the proposal any day this week, so I can just take myself off the proposal committee.

Pre-existing work is the way to go here. Maybe we could ask the class who would be willing to put their paper up for display/used as an example/ written about? It really depends on what we decide to do.

What I think would great would be to give a presentation of the genre that is the letter. Explain the outline, rhetorical situations, what works, what doesn't, perhaps a little ethos logos. After that maybe we could read our classes best example? Not the bong letter but a letter one of us wrote.

Just ideas...
