IPFW’S APPLESEED WRITING PROJECT SUMMER YOUTH WRITING CAMPS
|
APPLESEED YOUTH WRITING CAMP (for middle school students) Open to students who have completed grades 5, 6, 7, or 8 by June 9, 2009. The camp will be limited to the first 24 enrollees. This camp is designed for students who enjoy the experience of writing in a non-competitive, non-judgmental environment where they will be able allow their pens to follow their hearts. The environment provides a learning place where students can improve their writing skills under the tutelage of teachers but without the concern of earning a grade. The Appleseed Youth Writing camp will provide an introduction to three genres: poetry, short fiction, and drama. The sessions will also cover such topics as voice, character and narrative. Students will also learn how to critique, revise and publish their finished products. The camp will culminate with an open house/ reading event where students will present their writings to the public. June 15-June 26, 2009 (10 meetings) APPLESEED KIDS’ WRITING CAMP (for elementary students) Open to students who have completed grades 2, 3, or 4 by June 9, 2009. The camp will be limited to the first 24 enrollees. In this writer’s workshop, students will write using a variety of genres including poetry, story writing and narratives. Students will be guided through the process through engaging activities and collaboration in a supportive environment, starting with choosing a topic, leading into sustained writing time, followed by editing and revision, publishing and finally sharing. At the conclusion of the camp, students will emerge with a better understanding of the writing process and how to use that understanding in a variety of writing contexts.
