Great representation from the Red River Valley Writing Project at the 2019 NWP Midwest Conference

The proposal acceptances are rolling in, and it looks like we are going to have a great crew representing the Red River Valley Writing Project and NDSU at the second annual National Writing Project Midwest Conference in Minneapolis August 2-3! This is great because the 2020 Conference will be hosted by the RRVWP in Fargo on the NDSU campus. Included in this year's Summer Institute is travel to the 2019 conference, so we can see how it is done before we host in 2020.

We will be looking for conference organizers to help us choose a theme, publicize the conference, organize the conference, review proposals, and prepare. Please let kelly.sassi@ndsu.edu know if you are interested in contributing in some way.

Congratulations to the following teachers for having their proposals accepted for 2019:
Dave Binkard "Storytelling and Video Game Design" 
Angela Hase "Making Moves with Evidence in the ELL and AP Classrooms"
Ben Melby "Student Satire: Tearing Down Power, Privilege, and Fallacy”
Kelvin Monroe  "The Theater of Unbecoming: Writing Race and 'States of Emergency'”
Kim Rensch "Using Text Sets to Inspire Argumentative Writing"

Kelly Sassi "Why the Writing on Demand Unit in C3WP is a Tool for Equity"
