This week all middle school English classes kicked off Writers’ Fest – a schoolwide challenge and celebration of students’ independent writing projects. Writers’ Fest started with each block combining grades 6, 7, & 8 students for an inspirational look at writing “from the inside out.”
Inspired by all of ISB’s MS English teachers, along with a video clip from Catia Chien, and mentor texts from a wealth of genres, students investigated and selected a category in which to focus their own expression of self through writing.
Talk to your middle school child about what they might have selected and what their ideas might be for this exciting “chance” to share some of themselves. In every section, students were energized by the choice and creativity that awaits them!
