The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) is pleased to announce that Terry Blackhawk will be speaking at the 2011 NCTE Annual Convention.
Blackhawk, of InsideOut Literary Arts Project, Detroit, Michigan, will be presenting during the panel session, “EMILY’S VOICES.” An excerpt from the description of this session in the Convention Program reads:
With biographies, novels, a poetry anthology, operas, and works of art all inspired by her life and work, the fascination with Emily Dickinson continues unabated into the 21st Century. Reporting on Detroit’s 2010-2011 Big Read organized by InsideOut Literary Arts Project, panelists will discuss how urban youth share in this fascination and artistic engagement.
The session will be held from 2:45 PM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, November 19, 2011.
Each year, the NCTE Annual Convention draws thousands of K-12 teachers, college faculty, administrators, and other educational professionals from around the world. They gather to hear award-winning speakers, attend idea-packed sessions, share best practices, participate in workshops, and test the latest teaching materials. The 2011 NCTE Annual Convention will be held November 17-22, in Chicago, Illinois.
