You know the feeling. You
are going to burst if you
don’t write this down.
But why? Why are you
compelled to write? Is it
to tell a great story?
Argue a point?
Express sympathy or
love? Record
history?
Students in grades 4-8
are invited on
March
17, 2016 or during
the week of May
24-27, 2016 to
explore their own
motivation for writing
and to take their writing

hands-on breakout
sessions led by published
authors, illustrators,
journalists, poets, and
musicians.
