They may not be creative writers themselves, or never read poetry. So a few have come to the workshops simply to observe and then discuss ways to discuss poetry in the WC.<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth - Nothing wrong with coming out to play! I will definitely invite them over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790062.post-7756596024172291042008-08-27T17:02:00.000-06:002008-08-27T17:02:00.000-06:00It sounds like you guys have great projects going ...It sounds like you guys have great projects going on, Andrew! One thing that isn't exactly continued 'training' but does prompt many experienced consultants to discuss writing center theory more than they might otherwise is involvement in PeerCentered. Could your veteran tutors be asked to bring up/respond to questions right here? (This is a funny comment for me to leave, I feel like I'm saying 'Will you come play with me, pretty please?) :)ecpowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439744288615544149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790062.post-89814392753194326312008-08-26T20:32:00.000-06:002008-08-26T20:32:00.000-06:00That creative writing workshop idea is a great one...That creative writing workshop idea is a great one! <BR/><BR/>Sometimes, I wonder how many writers don't bring their poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, whatever into the center because they assume that there's no audience for it. <BR/><BR/>The most commom references to "The Boise State Writing Center" usually appear on syllabi or in the margins of student's papers, and perhaps that leads students to believe the writing center is for academic writings, only. I did.<BR/><BR/>I've written poetry for years, and before actually working in the center, I would've never thought of bringing one of my difficult poems into the writing center. I figured the writing center was for research papers and 102 essays.<BR/><BR/>Think of all the wisdom I missed out on! Durf...<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the creative workshops. It's important that students know that all types of writing will be warmly welcomed.Alisha Kamphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021863287095747457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790062.post-51889313515358482522008-08-26T20:26:00.000-06:002008-08-26T20:26:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alisha Kamphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021863287095747457noreply@blogger.com
