Guest Presenter: Dylan Dryer, University of Maine

What do we know about genres and our students’ writing?  Perhaps, more importantly, what do we know about genre knowledge and our students’ writing? How might genre knowledge inform our teaching and our assignments? In this special session, Dylan Dryer will lead faculty in examining these questions. We will also consider some methodological problems regarding genre research that can impact writing instruction and learning. Lunch will be served. Click here to register.
