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 May 12th 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 very fun: we began with a fun fact about books and then Karen did some announcements, including gauging the student reaction to Christina’s visit last week. Then, we did a prompted warm up, which students wrote short stories about and shared them with classmates. We continued the activity from 2 weeks ago with group metaphor writing! Kids got to edit their past writing and continue creating. Next week, we’ll be having our usual class!
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.
