	PRE-SYMPOSIUM WORKSHOP with Don Unger & Liz Lane "Cut, Paste, and Copy Your World: Using Zines to Introduce Community Writing" This interactive workshop explores community writing as an emerging approach to writing instruction in K-12 and college classrooms. Drawing from their experience coordinating community-based projects and founding a free/open-access journal on activism and community organizing, the workshop coordinators define community writing, present project examples, and lead attendees in making a zine about what writing looks like in their communities. This workshop provides attendees with resources for adapting this assignment in their classes as well as resources for learning more about how community writing informs teaching and research.

	KEYNOTE SESSION with Isabel Baca "Writing while Serving, Serving while Writing" As writing instructors, we must prepare students for the world beyond academia. To this end, students must write for the world, not just for the writing teacher. Service-learning, as a teaching and learning tool, allows students to write for, with, and about their communities. It allows them to write and learn while they serve, and serve while they write and learn.
