Friday, October 28, is the deadline for registration for the November 11 "Write To Win" conference for students and teachers. Cost is $25 for teachers and $15 for students. Registration forms are available on the OWP website at www.ou.edu/special/owp We still need workshops for secondary students focusing on pre-writing and drafting ideas for essay, short story, descriptive paragraph, and personal narrative. If you present, your registration fee is waived, and you make $100 for a 75-minute presentation. If you'd like to present, please e-mail me a proposal with a title and a short description of what students will be doing and learning in your workshop. I have been told that Norman students will be out that day for parent conference day. Unfortuately I found that out too late; November 11 was the only day available at the MNTC. Norman teachers, if you can talk your principal into it, it would still be nice to have you present. Even if you can't come, we will still allow 5 of your students to attend (OWP teacher consultants only) if their parents will bring them and pick them up. Please send only students you trust to behave in your absence. I hope to see many of you at the conference November 11. Let me know if you have any questions.
