Marianne Kunkel's book-length
poetry manuscript, All the Girls Shout Please, was named a
semi-finalist for Ohio State University Press's The Journal Wheeler
Prize for Poetry.
PLWP hosted the Teaching Argument Writing Cadre
Meeting at Missouri Western, facilitated and attended by PLWP Teacher
Consultants Amy Miller (MWSU), Tom Pankiewicz (MWSU, retired), Jane Frick
(MWSU, retired), Susan Martens (MWSU), Kathy Miller (Weston), Janet
Jelavich (Maryville, retired), and Terri McAvoy (SJSD, retired). The
event welcomed teachers from the three school districts involved in our i3 College
Ready Writers Program (Braymer, Breckenridge, and Hamilton) to rate student
papers, blog about effective classroom practice, and assess students' ability
to effectively incorporate and cite sources in argumentative writing.
