Writing Classes
Idea-Based Writing with a Focus on Structure and Development
Improve your ability to express ideas clearly in writing this summer.
In this workshop, we will choose topics that inspire wonder and awe to discuss and write about. Students will write their thoughts, responses and ideas using strategies that apply to all non-fiction writing, preparing them for greater success and ease with writing across all academic subjects in the future. This class will be taught in the traditional Write Now writer’s workshop style, with an emphasis on writing freely from your true self and learning through what is working. Each week a lesson will be given based on the needs of the specific students attending. The lessons will focus on organization and structure, idea development, and effective communication. Students will leave with greater clarity and confidence with non-fiction writing styles and with a renewed sense of awe and wonder about the mysteries of the world we live in. “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” –Albert Einstein
