Writing Fusion: Project Perspective! (Grades 1 – 6)
Our emphasis is on creating life-long writers who feel confident and comfortable in all steps of the writing process. Students of all ability levels will explore different genres and engage in various types of authentic writing activities to challenge them to grow as writers. This year’s camp will take students on a journey of discovery around the idea of perspective. Writers will look at point of view through the use of photograph, green screen, virtual reality, and drones.
Young Rebel Writers: Project Perspective! (Grade 7 – 8)
An exciting writing event just for middle school students grade 7-8.
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 be a sponsor of the Gayle A. Zeiter Children’s and Young Adult Literature Conference. This year, the featured author, Kwame Alexander, who is a poet, educator, and the New YorkTimes Bestselling author of 28 books, including Swing, Solo, and Rebound, the follow-up to his Newbery medal-
