Thursday, March 31, 2016

University Center Great Hall, Oklahoma City University

The Oklahoma Writing Project invites you to attend the annual Spring Celebration of Writing for Secondary Students and Teachers. Each teacher may bring 5 students per adult, grades 6-12. Parents and student teachers are welcome, too. Register soon.

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. Oklahoma Writing Project Teacher Consultants will present all workshops. All winners from the OWP “Write to Win” contest are encouraged to attend. These winning students will have an opportunity to meet with the judges of the contest for discussion about pieces. After lunch, the 2016 Write to Win Awards Celebration will begin. All students are encouraged to attend and celebrate these amazing writers who will be honored. Parents may attend at this time for no cost. All participants staying for this portion of the conference will receive a copy of the 2016 Write to Win Anthology.
