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 21st, 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 cliches! We began with a fun fact about cliches through history and dived right in, with the definitions of cliches and plot cliches. We also mentioned how tropes and cliches could be done artfully. We also watched videos and rewrote cliches. Then we let students free write and write according to prompts and prompted them to submit to our newsletter!
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.
