NATIONAL DAY ON WRITING

On October 20, 2009, EMU will participate in the National Day on Writing being sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).

On this day, we will hold events across campus and in classes, as well as in the Ypsilanti community, to highlight and showcase writing. We will also submit writing to the National Gallery of Writing.

This day is intended “to celebrate composition in all its forms” (NCTE website). The Gallery will be a digital archive that will contain different genres and forms of writing—the writing all of us do each day in our studies, our work, and our lives.

For additional information on the Gallery and on the National Day on Writing, visit the following web site: http://www.ncte.org/action/dayonwriting
