In September, the Greater Princeton Branch of AYLUS (GPA) students continued their Education Help Program. Although schools are restarting, some middle school students are still looking for tutoring classes to improve their academic skills in classes like math, science, or reading. Because of this, GPA is holding tutoring opportunities in core subjects.
GPA members (9/29, 2 hrs) Karen Yang and Kevin Song: Today was our third writers’ workshop! First, Kevin made a video recapping what we did last week with memoirs and discussions. Then we talked about upcoming announcements (including a political advocacy workshop I’m hosting and a writing competition in the works!). We then did a warm up with a piece of music, the arrival of the birds with the London Symphony Orchestra and students wrote about their feelings, what they heard/imagined/experienced. Then we split into breakout rooms, one for free writing/revising past writing, one for a lesson on memoirs. We’ll be meeting next week.
