Mark Twain is coming to ECU!
The East Central University Department of English and Languages and the Center for Continuing Education and Community Services will host its 16th Annual Oklahoma Literary Arts Festival on Thursday, Nov. 10, 2011, at the Hallie Brown Ford Fine Arts Center as part of the Scissortail Arts Series. This year’s theme for the Oklahoma Literary Arts Festival seeks to keep Mark Twain alive and well in public schools and public discourse. The keynote presentation is by Dave Ehlert, a renowned Mark Twain performer, who will bring history and literature to life. Henry Sweets, curator of the Mark Twain Museum in Hannibal, Missouri, will present a morning workshop for teachers, sharing 40 years of scholarship and teaching experience on how to incorporate Mark Twain into the 21st Century interdisciplinary classrooms. A traveling exhibit from the Mark Twain Museum will be on display in the Bill S. Cole University Center at ECU the week prior to and throughout the festival.
The Oklahoma Literary Arts Festival offers for high school students and teachers a series of workshops provided by members of the ECU English faculty and guest artists (from 8:30-11:30 a.m.) as well as the general session (from 12:00-1:30 p.m.).
Space is limited during these sessions so early registration is encouraged. Registration will begin September 15.
