VSA Scholastic Writing Award Preparation Workshop has a new format this year! Our new format maximizes student engagement, offers more 1-on-1 teacher feedback to every student, and elevates the quality of each student's writing.
This year, students attend eight group lectures, each focused on a particular writing skill or technique. Over the course of the program, students produce four essays for submission to Scholastic. Students also receive 8 hours of 1-on-1 sessions with a writing teacher.
Additional essays (+ 1-on-1 sessions) available for purchase.
Prerequisites: After registration, students will receive two prerequisite writing prompts. Students must submit their written responses to the prompts within 2 weeks of receipt or 7 days before the class starts, whichever comes first.
1-on-1 sessions will be scheduled based on teacher/student availability.
There is a prepayment of $100 at registration that is applied to the invoice. The prepayment is nonrefundable and nontransferable.
