writing—in all its forms. Join us to make memes, digital literacy narratives, make
daybooks, play with different writing technologies likeTwitter, Lite Brites, X-ray Goggles,
and even typewriters. We’ll be embodying and sculpting words and thinking through
what these approaches mean in the ELA classroom.

Conceptualizing education as a collection of social practices forces teachers to think
broadly about the ways we and our students learn. While theories of social learning
get taken up under various terms —Communities of Practice, Networked Learning,
and Connected Learning — they all hold at their core a notion that learning is not an
individual pursuit. It is a natural consequence of our relationships with each other.
As we work to understand our students’ skill sets, align our practices with local and
hyperlocal needs, and meet state and national standards that articulate what it means
to be successful in the English Language Arts, we are engaged in two key activities:
connecting and reflecting. As we help students grapple with complex ideas and texts,
hone the skills they need to enter new and difficult conversations, and challenge them
to critique old paradigms and compose new worlds with others, we are working to
help them connect and reflect. These practices are central to our work in schools, and
without them, standards, outcomes, and achievement are all meaningless words —
empty notions for both students and teachers.
The North Carolina English Teachers Association’s value as a professional organiza-
tion is its ability to provide space and opportunity for teachers across grade levels and
subject areas to network and compose shared understandings around what it means to
teach English Language Arts in the 21st Century. As conference director, it is an honor
to pull these thematic threads together each year and see them embodied, adapted,
appropriated and remixed in a diversity of educational contexts. In my third year,
I still consider this conference one of the most important things I do as a connected
educator—and like all significant work, it is done in collaboration with dedicated
NCETAsupporters. Thus,Iamtremendouslythankfultotheexecutiveboard,theregional
directors, our exhibitors, our presenters, and our hosting institutions. We should
recognize and appreciate the tireless contributions of Julie Malcolm, our executive
director and Rob Puckett, our web master, graphic designer, and print shop guru.
I hope your weekend in Wilmington is energizing and stimulating, and I look forward to
continuing to connect and reflect throughout the year. Please stop by and say hi, tell me
what you think, and let us know how we can continue to serve you and your colleagues
across the state. And as you consider the value of the NCETA conference, the difference
between training and professional development, and the essence of what you’ve ex-
perienced here, I ask you to share with others and to take writer Neil Gaimon’s advice…
“You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach,
a sky, an oak tree looks like. Tell them what makes this one different.”
Best,
Stephanie West-Puckett

Northwest Guildford High School
“My Life’s a Bunch of Almosts”
Summary: In the first few moments of his afterlife, a man finds himself ushered into
an airport-like setting that serves as a “holding area” for those who are waiting for the
courage to depart on a plane that will carry them into what lies beyond life as we know
it. Surrounded by others in the same predicament - some waiting cautiously, some
moving forward without reservation - the man takes pause to reflect on his readiness for
this next step and to consider the“almosts”left unresolved by the life he has left behind.

4.1: Living in a Flipped Classroom
Sherrill Jolly, South Brunswick High School
Flipping your classroom may be the answer to providing student-driven opportunities
that are necessary in the common core classroom. In this session learn how to
integrate a flipped classroom into your lesson plans and utilize your classroom time
more effectively. Emphasis will be on using video instructions to improve class time
usage. Lesson plans and videos will be made available to attendees.
Room 246
4.2: Equitable and Empowering Differentiation
Marcia Long, SandHoke Early College High School
Equity and Empowerment in the ELA classroom can be challenging as so many
students seem so ill-prepared in reading and writing. As we approach the Common
Core with its high standards for authentic reading and writing, it is necessary to discuss
how to differentiate without denying any groups of students equitable and suitable
curriculum and instruction. This presentation will be a catalyst for discussion on what
acceptable differentiation looks like via authentic English assignments and activities.
Participants will be given activities and units to discuss what is effective and what is
not effective differentiation and discuss the best strategies to deliver Common Core in
an equitable manner that empowers all students.

between multiple American-fought wars.
Room 235
4.4: Social Constructs of“Good”Writing: the“Hows”and
“Whys”of Genre Theory
Kendra Andrews and Tonya Wertz-Orbaugh, UNC-C
In this interactive session, we will interrogate the ways in which socially-constructed
definitions of genre have come to shape our understanding of what is considered
“good”and“bad”writing. Working with a variety of writing samples, we will enact one
of the goals of this conference—the“notion that learning is not an individual
pursuit”—as we work in small groups to first understand genre constraints and then to
remediate pieces of writing into new genres altogether. Drawing on the scholarship of
Deborah Dean, Charles Bazerman, and others, participants will have the opportunity to
wrestle with their own understanding of genre as well as reflect on the possibilities for
introducing genre theory in their own classrooms.
Room 306
4.5: Breaking Open the Text Box: Imagining New Textual
Possibilities for and with Students
Kathryn Caprino & Jocelyn Glazier, UNC-CH
In this workshop, we will interrogate what we mean by text by engaging participants in
activities that prompt their thinking about existing texts and the creation of new texts.
The workshop will be hands on and participants will leave with some ideas for use of
texts in their own classrooms.

5.2: Bridging Cultural Differences in the Community College
Classroom for Immediate and Long-term Educational Success
Kellie French, Coastal Carolina Community College
Respectful and collaborative multicultural relationships are of the utmost importance
in our highly-connected 21st century lives. This session’s focus is on how to build an
inclusive multicultural classroom environment through specific writing assignments,
conversations, and projects. This environment has both short and long-term benefits
for any community college student involved.
Room 232
5.3: Disciplinary Literacy - Reading at the Core
Tanji Reed Marshall, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
Developing disciplinary literacy is a critical shift for the secondary literacy classroom.
Students encounter a variety of texts across their learning day and must acquire the
literacy skills necessary to access these increasingly complex texts. Incorporating
discipline-specific reading processes can ensure students meet the demands of the
Common Core.

5.4: 40 Ways to Read Like a Detective: Supporting
Text-Centered Instruction
Anna Frost and Alex Kaulfuss, Department of Public Instruction
Join the ELA section of NCDPI for an interactive presentation exploring instruction
grounded in text. During 40 ways to read like a detective, participants will explore
myriad approaches to a text, approaches which are applicable to or adaptable for
learners in all grade levels. This fast-paced, engaging session will offer a wide variety of
Common-Core aligned lesson ideas, which address key instructional shifts for ELA.

Charetta Walls, South Central High School
Words are difficult to pin down, and often the meanings we invest in them are vastly
different based on our backgrounds, experiences, and understandings of the world. In
this session we will explore the use of the“N”word in popular culture, use digital tools
to illustrate the meanings we bring to the word, and demonstrate ways of approaching
culturally-sensitive language and stereotypes using popular media in the classroom.

Nancy Posey, Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute
Just as K-12 teachers are facing the changes and challenges that come with the
Common Core, community colleges are facing“developmental redesign,”a state-wide
plan to students who enter community college without meeting minimum
competencies through non-credit courses faster. This session will address ways high
school and community college instructors can forge connections to help move
students toward the same goals.

6.3: Following the Crumbs Out Of the Woods
John York, Penn-Griffin School for the Arts
Probably the most powerful genre for most young writers is the memoir; it can be an
intersection of heart and head and sensory experience that relates a meaningful story.
I will share my methods for leading students through pre-writing, writing, and revision
of their personal narratives.
Room 235
6.4: Identity in the Composition Classroom: How Student-Led
Projects Allow for Connection to and Reflection on 21st Century Literacies
Shana Hartman, Gardner-Webb University
How do teachers develop student-ownership and engagement in reading and writing?
What happens when classroom roles are flipped and students lead other students in
critical thinking, reading, and writing about issues that are important to them? These
are the questions guiding this session. Participants will learn about a teacher research
study based on an“Identity Leader Project”used in a reading and writing course for
at-risk students. The project is designed to develop metacognition, comprehension,
and rhetorical skills through student-led reading and writing assignments. Participants
will gather hands-on material to adapt and implement the project in their own
classrooms as well as explore the research supporting this practice. Issues raised
include student identity, 21st century literacies, college readiness, and best practices
in the ELA classroom

7.2: Creating & Sustaining the Conditions for Successful
Social Learning in the Classroom and Beyond
Mary Kendrick, J.M. Alexander Middle School
What can teachers do to ensure students’social learning experiences are successful?
This question has long occupied the thoughts of teachers and is the heart of many ar-
ticles and books written by educators. Join us for a collaborative inquiry into one such
text: Breaking (into) the Circle by Hephizibah Roskelly.
Room 232
7.3: No, But I Saw the Movie
Sherrill Jolly, South Brunswick High School
Viewing films is an unexplored literacy in the English classroom. However, our
students come to class with an almost innate knowledge of film. What if we could use
this knowledge to teach film, as if it were text? Using clips from videos, the presenter
will show how to test literary terms within the context of films. In doing this, the
teacher can expand a student’s literary knowledge without sacrificing valuable time.
A combination of close reading passages and the director’s vision of literary films will
be used to discuss various topics.

In accord with county initiatives concerning Service-Learning, two English II teachers
explore Service-Learning as an instructional strategy. This increases student
engagement through application in high-rigor and innovative critical literacy
practices, as well as connects the student populations to the respective
communities that surround our schools.
Room 246
8.2: Performance Tasks in the ELA Classroom: Building Curiosity,
Consciousness, and Independence
Tanji Reed Marshall, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
Performance tasks provide ELA teachers an opportunity to involve students in deep
learning through the use of real-world contexts to produce authentic texts for real
audiences. The work of performance tasks provides teachers a mechanism for reaching
the Common Core State Standards, and extends the boundaries of the ELA classroom.

Bob Alexander, Nash-Rocky Mount Schools
The Paideia Philosophy, including the crown jewel, the Paideia Seminar, is an excellent
tool for creating and delivering engaging teaching and learning experiences in pursuit
of mastery of the Common Core State Standards for ELA and Literacy. By embracing
the Paideia framework: Didactic Instruction (10-15%), Coaching--including the Paideia
Coached Project--(60%), and the Paideia Seminar (25%) both students and teachers
partner in a rigorous adventure in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking
that is driven by inquiry, discussion, and relevant content. If you really want to infuse
