Krawiec to Teach Haiku Seminar
at World View Conference
at World View Conference
Richard Krawiec has been asked to teach a seminar on 'How to Teach Haiku' at the 2010 World View Conference, which will be held at UNC Chapel Hill this year. This is an international conference that trains K-12 and community college instructors on 'Best Practices in Education' from around the world. Richard will train teachers on how to teach haiku.
The offer came about because of feedback and observations of workshops that Richard has been teaching funded by the Duke East Asia and Pacific Studies Program. Richard writes: "So it's based on direct observation of the work I do, by people I don't know, which makes it especially rewarding for me."
