Summer Writing Workshops
New York, NY
Subject: Essay Writing
Workshops house a maximum of six participants. Weekly sessions are peppered by original and fun writing exercises, but focus primarily on writing--and completing--stories. Each time we meet, students bring copies of the newest drafts of their work to share with the group. They quietly review each other's work--circling the parts or lines they enjoy most along with the sections that they think can be improved--and then share these ideas with the group. Within a few sessions, students comfortably and easily provide insightful feedback to their peers.
