We are thrilled to invite your students to participate in Archer’s Seventh Annual Student Literary Conference, entitled “Literature &….” This year’s conference is scheduled for 8:30AM to 2:30PM on February 20th, 2013. To those who are interested, I will send along some posters at the end of this month to share with your students and teachers to encourage participation and publicize the event.
The conference welcomes works synthesizing literature and another discipline, as well as creative pieces and essays about works of literature in general. We will reserve a panel specifically for the cross-curricular presentations conjoining writing and history, pop culture, film, art history, philosophy, or any other topic. We will also reserve a panel for creative writing.
We encourage a wide variety of presentation styles from both male and female students. Students might also wish to display images, play music, or project film clips. Presentations should each be approximately 8-10 minutes long. Other details:
- Students should submit 250 word proposal abstracts or 3-5 page essays with the name of a supervising teacher to me via e-mail. The submission deadline is January 15th, 2013, but earlier submissions are most welcome!
- I will send out final acceptance letters to the top proposals/papers by February 1st.
- All attendees should R.S.V.P. by February 8th, 2013. Snacks and refreshments will be provided for teachers and speakers.
The conference provides unique opportunities for students to participate in an intellectually stimulating exchange of ideas. It also allows them to sharpen their writing and presentation skills, gain confidence for college interviews, meet and share ideas with students from other schools, and include something unique to be very proud of on their college application resumes—and beyond.
