NCTE Day on Writing

I got an e-mail from NCTE today about the National Day on Writing, October 20, 2009, and thought I'd pass along a link about it:
http://www.ncte.org/action/dayonwriting

Of particular interest are the two ways NCTE invites members to participate. The first is to "submit a 'resource piece' that can help non-educators write or understand writing," and the second is to "organize a group of students or community members to create their own 'hall' or exhibition in the national gallery" of writing that NCTE is creating for the event. This gallery will contain all different kinds of pieces: instructional manuals, poetry, journal entries, blog postings, and so on. The only requirement for inclusion is that the writing matter to the writer.
