Fundamentals of Academic Writing Summer Bootcamp Session I: (Jr. Level: Rising 7-9 Graders)
Start the academic year strong with this one-week workshop, which teaches the basic skills for writing an academic essay (prewriting, thesis statements, organization, specificity, paragraph development, research, transitions). Our interactive, workshop-style methodology creates a collaborative, hands-on space for teens to improve their writing. We’ll also teach tricks for navigating the writing process effectively and efficiently, to help with issues such as writers’ block and avoidance. This camp is limited to eight students, so each student gets hands-on attention and plenty of feedback in a nongraded, constructive environment.
