Course Description:

Elevate your writing skills through this week-long writing course! Students will learn multiple methods for organizing and writing fiction and non-fiction, taking a piece from the brainstorming phase to the final draft, and learning other helpful methods for getting ideas on paper and structuring their time throughout the writing process. Over the course of the week, we will build and decorate a portfolio so students can show off their completed work! Students who enroll in both the writing workshop and the afternoon math workshop can also stay for a supervised lunch hour from 12:00pm-1:00pm free of charge.
