“Write To Win”

2010 Conference for Secondary Students and Teachers

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

Meinder’s School of Business, Oklahoma City University

The Oklahoma Writing Project invites you to attend the annual “Write To Win” Conference for Secondary Students and Teachers.  Each teacher may bring 5 students, grades 6-12.   Parents and student teachers are welcome, too.  Register now!  Only 225 seats available. Registration is online at http://owp.ou.edu

Students will choose two workshops appropriate for their grade level. Workshops will provide pre-writing and drafting activities for various genres--poetry, essays, personal narratives, descriptions, flash fiction, short stories, and interviews. Teachers will attend separate workshops, focusing on successful methods for teaching writing in the classroom.  All workshops will be presented by Oklahoma Writing Project Teacher Consultants. After lunch, a general session will offer students the chance to write and share with their teachers. All students will leave the conference with a rough draft of a piece they may enter in the 2011 OWP Writing Contest. (2011 OWP Writing Contest information is also attached to this email.)

Lunch is available at various places on campus, or students may bring a sack lunch.  Teachers may also take students out for lunch.
