Hi Tosh et alli,
Very unfortunately, both my colleague Sean Zwagerman and I have
conflicts that will prevent us from attending the Canadian Caucus at CCCC
or the dinner afterwards, but we are presenting a paper at a panel on WID
Saturday afternoon (Session: P32, 3:30 pm), and I could, after CCCC send a
copy of that paper to anyone who might be interested enough to send me an
email request. The paper title is, "Learning to Write for Academic
Readers: Identity, Identification, and Revision in a Writing-Intensive
Literature Course in a New WID-Based University Curriculum." The paper
describes the WID requirements, the particular first year lecture course,
and then discusses students' responses to the required revision
activities. Two WID courses are now required for graduation from SFU.
Our regrets for missing the Caucus. Hope to see you all at other
times during the conference. Enjoy.

Call a man a villain, and you have the choice of either attacking or
cringing. Call him mistaken and you invite yourself to attempt setting him
right." Kenneth Burke (Attitudes toward History 4)
