Writing Fusion: Let Writing Take You Places (Grades 1 – 6)

Young Rebel Writers (Grade 7 – 8)
An exciting writing event just for middle school students grade 7-8.
*Tell your stories through personal narratives, poems, and fiction.
*Experiment with various genres and media available to writers.
*Use writing to spread the word about community issues.
Rebel Writing (Grades 9 -12)
Working with experienced teachers who love writing, students will explore ways to make their writing meaningful, covering many genres from slam poetry to narrative. Walking field trips to local publishers and bookstores, guest speakers, and technology integration all add to the experience by showing how writing can be a powerful medium of expression. This writing camp seeks to challenge students to explore, collaborate, and grow through their work to produce purposeful writing that impacts others.
SNWP is proud to announce four new Teacher Consultants (TCs). It is with great excitement that we welcome Holland Meyer, Sandra Matusiak, Kali Copplin, and Kelly Collier as Teacher Consultants in our organization.
Each of these esteemed teachers completed our Writing Institute during the 2017-2018 school year during which they explored what it means to be a writer and what it means to be a teacher of writing.
In the coming weeks, we will share their experiences here in the blog. There is a lot to learn from reading about their experiences this school year.
