Upcoming Events
Summer Writing Camps
We are excited to offer summer writing camps this summer!!!
The Bare Bones Sentence
June 25-29
11:30-12:30 -- Elementary School
1:00-2:00 -- Middle/High School
$99
This Multi-sensory writing camp focuses on developing a sentence. Students are introduced to the concept of a sentence, (versus a fragment), and will write bare bones sentences. They will then expand their knowledge by writing a descriptive sentence, topic sentence, and transition sentence. The purpose of this camp is to provide students with the foundation for all future writing assignments.
Paragraphs with Purpose
July 16-20
1:00-2:30 – All Ages (We may split into two groups if demand is great enough.)
$149
Developing a paragraph is a skill which requires preparation and planning. Using color coding, students will build a paragraph with a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and closing sentence. This camp provides direct instruction ranging from the planning stage through the proofreading process. A well written paragraph is the cornerstone of any paper. After this camp, your child will not only understand the purpose of a paragraph but also how to structure and write an effective paragraph.
Expository Writing
July 23-27
Middle/High School -- 1:00-2:30
$149
Understanding how to weave together multiple paragraphs to create an essay can be a daunting task. It often becomes a string of thrown together facts with no coherent point. In Expository Writing we will explore how to gather information, organize, plan, pre-write, outline, write, and revise a short essay. This progression teaches a method of writing which students can use on any expository writing assignment.
