Julia Houk is a literacy researcher and former secondary English teacher (PhD candidate, University of California, Davis) who designs multimodal composition workshops built around real research and real texts. Students investigate a topic or work through blended genres: primary-source research, poetry, pastiche, translation, photography, and more. Through working with hybrid forms, students learn to synthesize sources and build various rhetorical stances across genres and media. The approach is grounded in Julia's published research on multimodal transmediation and years of teaching multigenre research projects to secondary students. Sessions are scaffolded for writers from grade 3 through grade 12, adaptable to any classroom text, novel, or research theme a teacher is already using, and can run as a single interactive workshop, a multi-day residency, or a small-group classroom series. Students leave with a finished multimodal piece and a working sense of how research, evidence, and craft fit together. (Julia also holds formal training in Shakespeare studies and can build a Shakespeare-specific version of this unit on request.)

The NYSCLSA Conference is the annual statewide student leadership conference organized by the New York State Council on Leadership and Student Activities (NYSCLSA). Here are the key details about the conference: Primary Goal: To develop leadership skills in high school and middle school students across New York State. Participants: A diverse group of student leaders, typically from student councils, National Honor Society (NHS), and similar organizations, along with their advisors. Activities: The conference features a variety of activities aimed at building skills and promoting civic engagement, including: Workshops: Focused on topics like communication, team building, decision-making, and critical thinking (as mentioned in your previous question). Keynote Speakers: Internationally and nationally known motivational speakers. Networking: Opportunities for students to share ideas, programs, and network with peers from around the state. Service Projects: The organization and its members typically support a statewide charity fundraiser and develop service-learning projects. Purpose: The event is designed to inspire participants to take the ideas and skills they gain back to their respective schools and communities to make a positive difference. The NYSCLSA organization is founded and governed by both students and advisors, who play an essential role in planning the annual conference and other state and local leadership activities The NYSCLSA conference’s Student Leadership Program strongly aligns with the New York State P-12 Learning Standards for the Arts by engaging students in the four artistic processes. By requiring students to create, develop, and produce public service announcements (PSAs), the program fulfills the Creating and Performing/Presenting/Producing standards, particularly in Media Arts and Theatre. Furthermore, the workshops on communication and critical thinking, along with keynote speakers on school climate and culture, address the Responding standard by teaching students to analyze and interpret artistic intent, and the Connecting standard by urging them to synthesize their work with personal experiences and societal context. Essentially, the conference uses the creation and presentation of media as a practical vehicle for developing key leadership and critical thinking skills mandated by the NYS arts curriculum.
