“I don’t want to be remembered for One Hundred Years of Solitude, nor for the Nobel Prize, but rather for the newspaper. I was born a journalist and today I feel more than ever that I am a reporter. It’s in my blood.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Where do people, especially young people, get their news today? What skills and tactics are required to become part of the news-gathering and news-sharing work force, as well as merely being a consumer of information?

Our two-day course, Finding Words for Feeling and Form, will address these questions and give teachers simple, direct instructional strategies to enable their students to write with the accuracy, clarity, simplicity, and economy that are the hallmarks of good journalism.

Participants will report on remembered and observed experiences from their personal lives, from in-class activities and from a filmed dance concert by Diversity of Dance.*

Elizabeth Zimmer, the course instructor, is a journalist, dance critic, editor, and teacher of writing to graduate students.

Diversity of Dance, Inc. provides an environment where student artists from diverse ethnic, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds can achieve the highest levels of excellence through positive collaborations with teachers and peers. It is the goal of this course to give teachers strategies to enable student writers from diverse ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds to achieve the highest levels of excellence.

Fredrick Earl Mosley is Founder/Director of Diversity of Dance INC. which is the spring board for programs such as Earl Mosley’s Institute of the Arts held every summer at Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island. Hearts of Men, in New York City at the end of the summer, uses dance to empower and cultivate a safe space where men of all ages can bond in a community of brotherly love. Mr. Mosley’s choreographic credits include the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theater Studio Company and Dallas Black Theatre. Mosley has also choreographed schools such as Montclair State Dance Department, Joffrey Ballet Trainee Program, the Ailey School, Hofstra University and numerous universities and institutions both nationally and internationally.

In The Simple View of Reading, 1986, Gough and Turner posit that good reading requires proficiency in both reading and language comprehension. This workshop will address this simple view of reading, by providing instructional strategies in three of the five pillars of reading: phonological awareness, phonics and vocabulary, because mastery of those pillars leads to proficiency in fluency and comprehension as well. It will concentrate on building a foundation of word recognition skills and enabling teachers and students to build a large and varied working vocabulary and strategies for acquiring new words. It will specifically address the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students, whose language comprehension may not match the demands of the school system. Everyone is welcome to this course, whether or not you want CTLE hours or P credits. You will have fun and learn a lot.
 
IMPORTANT
 
Because we will be conducting this course remotely, we will email the handouts before the course begins to be printed by the participants. The second day of the course involves a hands-on vocabulary development project. Participants must be prepared with basic materials, such as scissors, paper of various kinds, markers or crayons, paste. Other art materials, such as yarn, play dough or whatever the participants have at hand, are most welcome.
