Are you looking for lively new ways to present creative-writing-related concepts to your students? In this panel, five writer-teachers from across the genres critically reexamine a classic pedagogical tool: the handout. We'll share practical and specific strategies for creating original, helpful, and inclusive handouts tailored to your students’ needs. Our goal is for you to walk out of this panel with fresh ideas (and a few of our favorite handouts).
