Does your middle schooler love to write? Do they want the opportunity to grow that passion and discuss their writing with qualified mentors? If so, Young Writers Workshop at the Greater Princeton branch of AYLUS (GPA) is the answer!
On April 28th, for 2 hours, two writing enthusiasts, GPA members Karen Yang and Eliana Du, met virtually, and will continue doing so every Wednesday, with middle schoolers to write, explore, conference, and create. Class was online, through the software “Google Meets.”
This week was our lesson about metaphors! We began with a fun fact about metaphors and dived right in, with the definitions of metaphors, the types of metaphors, and some examples. We also played a game between identifying metaphors and similes and introduced the group writing activity of the week. Next week, a speaker (Christina Li, author of Clues to the Universe) will be coming to talk to us about her writing process and we can’t wait!
Our meetings are also insanely flexible; drop in whenever you want and attendance isn’t mandatory for every week. Some other events we have are talking with authors and writing competitions, so sign up at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSek_4xbog5f0dlPocvBP3bgERQvnn_X0EXo5kcIbk1AL9VPUg/viewform?usp=sf_link.
