SESSION DESCRIPTION
What is the place of digital text in an English classroom? How can a 21st century podcast help students write a research paper about Romanticism? How can a public service commercial help students write powerful metaphors? How can the absence of the printed word teach kids about punctuation and paragraphing? In this session, we will move beyond traditional print and explore the possibilities of digital texts as efficient and high-interest mentor texts used to help develop stronger rhetorical awareness and, therefore, more effective writing across subjects, topics, and genres.
