Hi everyone,
My name is Meghan Bacino. I recently moved to Chicago and am interested in creating an innovative, fresh writing group for some of the Cabrini Connections participants! I taught some writing courses at Michigan State before moving here to write my dissertation, which focuses on how we can help students study writing as social action and become more active writers. I miss teaching, and I reached out to CC to get involved and try and help kids do amazing things with the written word. I'm excited to meet other volunteers and see if we can collaborate on some ideas for this sort of thing. Some genres I think would be great are personal narratives, journal writing, hip-hop song lyrics; depending on what direction the kids want to go, we could work to publicize their work or find performace venues. Dan got me all pumped up about networking :), so I'm going to reach out to people I know. I look forward to meeting all of you. Let me know if you're interested!
