Any writer worth his salt writes to please himself…It’s a self-exploratory operation that is endless. An exorcism of not necessarily his demon, but of his divine discontent. – Harper Lee
【Program Vision 】 Students will be encouraged to pay attention to their environment – to observe, question and wonder. Through their writing, they will be prompted to develop a strong sense of self, to have opinions and see the world from different perspectives.
We will explore the numerous paths to inspiration, examine points of view, and develop a variety of presentation options. Students will be required to keep writer’s notebook* in which to record daily observations, inspirations and stories.
