DESCRIPTION:You spend the school year writing for other people: papers an
 d  reports for your teachers\, essays for your college applications\,  a
 rticles for your school newspaper. With so much on your plate\, it&rsquo
 \;s  hard to find time to write for yourself.\nWednesday afternoons are 
 for you!\nEach week we&rsquo\;ll focus on a different aspect of creative
  writing:  poetry\, language\, plot\, character\, dialogue\, and other a
 spects of  storycraft. Whether you like to write poetry\, fiction\, pers
 onal essay\,  journals\, or all of the above\, there&rsquo\;s a place fo
 r you here!\nWrite without worrying about grades or deadlines\, create n
 ew work and  polish existing pages\, and work closely with a professiona
 l writer who  will help to guide your process and answer any questions y
 ou have about  writing\, publishing\, living the writing life\, and more
 .\nBest of all\, you&rsquo\;ll get to meet other teenage writers like yo
 urself who are serious and excited about their stories!\nThis class has 
 two components:\n&bull\; Writing: Writing prompts to spark your imaginat
 ion\, help you break through blocks\, and learn to write past your &ldqu
 o\;internal editor.&rdquo\;\n&bull\; Workshopping: We&rsquo\;ll share ou
 r work and give  each other feedback on what&rsquo\;s working well and w
 hat opportunities we can  find in each piece (whether it&rsquo\;s fictio
 n\, non-fiction\, or poetry).  We&rsquo\;ll talk about where we can exte
 nd scenes and dialogue to push the  narrative\, how word choice can affe
 ct the piece as a whole\, how to spice  up language and how to find&mdas
 h\;and trust&mdash\;your original voice.\nAge Groups and Who Should Atte
 nd We invite all young writers in grades 6 through 9 to participate. The
   small size of our classes and individual attention from the instructor
   means each student will be challenged with customized prompts and  rec
 eive appropriate feedback.
