I think this is an excellent idea for a theme because it gives enough leeway
to include many different kinds of work.
Theresa Hyland has also sent me a few sentences about her topic:
"My thesis
will be exploring the relationship between the extended reading prompt
and the writing proficiency demonstrated by the ESL students who take
our assessment in first year. I will be exploring this relationship in
terms of the construct validity of the assessment task/ and performance
elicited."
I have to do this on Sunday because I teach all day Monday, so if anyone
else is interested please send your information before Sunday evening, OK?

Subject: Theme/Topic for Canadian Caucus at 4Cs (6Cs?) 2003
Hi Everyone!
Given the theme of the Cs in 2003, maybe our caucus could have the focus of
Change/Transformation in Canadian Writing Instruction. This could include
change in theories of rhetoric and composition, evolving ideas about
teaching and learning, innovative instructional methods and approaches, AND
changes in technology. This could be tweaked a bit to sound current.
I have checked my calendar and found that I will be available to go to the
Cs next year. So Roger, would you include my information in your submission
for the Canadian Caucus? I hate to admit it but I'm very excited.

My home phone number is (204) 783-2897. My home address is 196 Walnut
Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba CANADA R3G 1P5. My particular area of interest
is how theories of language influence curriculum and instruction in writing
and how changed practices eventually move into the practice of teachers in
the schools (K-12).
