Video by Shannon Carter (Texas A&M-Commerce), drawing inspiration from Steve Krause’s video “Celebration of Student Writing” and likewise documenting a campus-wide celebration of first-year writing students. This video commemorates the Celebration of Student Writing (CSW) at Texas A&M University-Commerce and describes the curriculum from which these student projects emerged. The CSW celebrates the original research of first-year college students with a focus on culminating project for the first-year composition sequence. It serves as an argument that student research at any level should be celebrated alongside the promotion of the multiple literacies found throughout the process. Contributes to the national conversation on writing by sharing the original research of first-year composition students studying literacy as it manifests itself in a variety of contexts. Suggests that everyone is a writer and literacy is everywhere. |
