The 2006 English 106 Showcase was held April 18, 2006. As in the past, the event shone a spotlight on the outstanding work our students do in English 106, allowing them an opportunity to make their work visible to an audience that goes beyond the traditional classroom walls.
This year, we added a new feature to the event, the English 106 Instructor Showcase. The instructor showcase was held alongside the student showcase, and it was designed to give ICaP teachers a chance to show off the good work that you do in the classroom, as well.

Five awards will be given at the English 106 Student and Instructor Showcase in the spring of 2006. Descriptions of the categories are as follows:
Dean's Award
This award will be determined by the Dean or his representative(s) for a work or presentation of particular distinction.
Award for Best Project in its Original Form
This award is given to the best project in its original form, regardless of the genre or media used to create the project. To be judged for this award, the original project must be turned in several weeks ahead of the showcase day.
Award for Best Reflection
This award recognizes the reflection the students write about their course project.
Award for Best Display of a Project
This award recognizes achievement in the display of the showcased project (i.e. we're looking here at how the student has revised the project produced in an English 106 class for display in a public forum in the poster presentation genre).
People's Choice Award
This award will be determined at the Showcase itself by ballots submitted by attendees.
