Writing Workshops
In an effort to foster creativity and empower the underprivileged youth, a unique initiative is set to take flight this summer. A series of free writing workshops are offered to students from under-resourced communities, led by none other than the Editor-in-Chief Erin Yoo.
These workshops aim to ignite the sparks of imagination, refine the art of creative writing, and strengthen the skills required for crafting persuasive and articulate argumentative essays.
​
1. Enhancing Creative Writing Skills: The classes will focus on unlocking the potential of the students' imagination and honing their creative writing abilities. Through engaging writing exercises, students will be encouraged to explore different genres, experiment with language, and develop their unique voices as storytellers. The Editor-in-Chief will provide constructive feedback, encouraging students to think critically about their work and helping them craft compelling narratives.
​
2. Strengthening Argumentative Essays: In addition to nurturing creative expression, the classes will emphasize the development of persuasive writing skills. Students will learn the art of constructing well-reasoned and convincing arguments, backed by evidence and research. The Editor-in-Chief will guide them through the intricacies of essay structure, clarity of thought, and the art of persuasion. These skills will not only benefit the students academically but also prepare them for success in various professional and personal endeavors.
​
By offering free writing classes to underprivileged communities, we hope to level the playing field and provide opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach for these aspiring writers.
