Details:
The Young Writers Project helps middle and secondary school students find ways to see themselves as writers through the process of experimenting, manipulating, and performing the written word. Project developers believe that youth who think of themselves as competent and creative writers produce powerful and interesting creative and expository writing. Activities will include reading and analyzing poetry and daily writing activities. Students will attend a poetry reading in the area. The workshop will culminate with participants having an opportunity to present original works of poetry to an audience of peers, parents and other invited guests.
