2014 Symposium on Student Writing
Sponsored by the University of Louisville’s Composition Program and Ekstrom Library Learning Commons
Wednesday, March 26, 2014
10:00am—2:00pm
***New Location: Ekstrom Library Learning Commons***
Write. Search. Discover.
All writers search and discover as they uncover what it is they want to say. In the 2014 Symposium, we want to showcase all of the ways in which students use writing as a tool to search and discover. Thus, in our new and expanded format, through poster presentations, oral presentations, and reading their creative writing, we invite students to participate in showcasing their work. Through these multiple formats, we will display the important place that searching and discovering plays in rhetorically effective writing. All types of projects are welcome and we encourage instructors to craft assignments that fit the needs of their class. We look forward to showcasing the work from students in the Composition Program at the University of Louisville in the 2014 Symposium on Student Writing.
Poster Session
Students are invited to design poster presentations that demonstrate the role that searching and discovering plays in the construction of a specific writing project. Poster projects are encouraged to be displayed on tri-fold boards or foam poster boards. We hope to display the posters in the Ekstrom Library Learning Commons before and after the Symposium. Digital posters are also welcome. However, the student must be present while the digital poster is displayed.
Oral Presentation Session
Students are invited to work individually or in groups to design presentations of their work. Presentations may explore the process of searching and discovering that led to the current project.
Creative Writing Reading
Students are invited to share their creative work during the Symposium. Readings lasting between 15 and 20 minutes will be shared in the Bingham Poetry Room. Students interested in participating should email Hollye at hnwrig01@louisville.edu by 5:00pm on Friday March 7th.

The 2013 Symposium on Student Writing

Sample Projects
- Highlight and comment upon the changes writers made in moving from their original written piece to a remixed product. Such presentations could focus on the way that the writer’s growing understanding of genre conventions or audience influenced the remix.
- Illustrate how the elements of reasoning or intellectual standards of critical thinking influenced a writer’s remix choices.
- Make visible the social dimensions of remixing by emphasizing the roles that other individuals—including peer commentators, instructors, other authors the writer has cited, other audiences—have played in shaping the design of the project.
- Reflect on the design choices that writers made as they “translated” a project from one medium to another or reinterpreted the same content for different audiences. For instance, a project might highlight the design choices made as a traditional print text was translated into a website or a multimodal composition.
