Program Description:

The Young Writers Workshop focuses on using informal, playful, creative writing as a way to strengthen skills of language and thinking. Out of these informal writing activities, using techniques of peer response, students develop more polished pieces, ranging from personal narratives to stories, poems, and exploratory essays. Learning to trust one's own voice as a writer is a key goal.
