Speaker(s):
Betty LaFace
Almost Famous: Imagining the Self in Metaphors and New Media - Cengage Learning
2011 Cengage Learning TeamUP English Composition Conference: Asheville, NC
The English Composition conference offers you a venue for exchanging ideas with colleagues, discovering new teaching strategies, and gaining new insights into your students and courses. From the keynote to the networking session to the breakout session, all presentations are designed to address current teaching issues and the complexities of diverse student interests and needs in English Composition courses.
The speaker will discuss new pedagogies for instructing writers in technology media. As students move from writing about concrete experience to discover metaphors--from objective to subjective imagination and interpretations---the drafting process culminates in meaningful reflections of the self, identity, and community. YouTube clips of Harold and Maude, handouts, and camvideo recordings effectively demonstrate how to improve student drafts online and in the traditional classroom.
