I have a Ph.D. in English and have been a professor of communication and education for two decades, during which time I have directed writing and speaking programs at some of the most prestigious colleges in the US. I have published two international award-winning academic books on writing education and have been recognized with several university-wide and national teaching and leadership awards. Most importantly, I LOVE to teach. I bring to this class robust experience teaching writing and a love of helping young people build confidence in using their voices. I began my career teaching middle school creative writing and am thrilled to return to working with this age group.

Assessment
頻率: Available upon request
細節: Students will receive informal verbal feedback on aspects of their work in progress from me and other campers if they choose to share it during the optional time in the last part of the hour. (Students will not be required to share their work.) Students who would like more comprehensive feedback on their final drafts can request a written evaluation that will be provided within one week of the completion of camp.
Students should come prepared with some kind of material with which to write, such as a paper and pen/pencil or a blank word doc or google doc. After the first day, they should also bring a copy of their most recent draft of their writing project.
