YOUNG AUTHORS - Creative Writing Workshops in August
If you love to write, and want the time, the place, and the support to do it, the 2015 Youth Authors: Creative Writing Workshop is for you! In just one week, exceptional writers from different schools will have a chance to immerse themselves in their craft, while working closely with an instructor and alongside encouraging and dedicated peers.

During the day there are different writing exercises to
explore genres like short stories, poetry, and personal nonfiction. Inspiration
will come from mini-trips into the park, the Aldrich Contemporary Museum, and
the gardens of Keeler Tavern. This class is full of like-minded peers who
not only have a talent for writing, but also appreciate what others have to
share. In fostering individual creativity, students in this class will not only
leave with a portfolio of writing they can be proud of, but new friends and a
kick-start of writing before the school year. Ms. Kathy Rattner-Beall of SRMS FAME is the teacher.

STUDY SKILLS EXPRESS
In this course, students build a rock-solid study foundation
by learning to identify important information, organize it,
then apply their new knowledge.
The Study Skills workshop is a hands-on experience using
engaging activities that develop proven strategies for time management,
note-taking, personal organization, and studying. Participants will
examine their own study habits and organization to discover
what practices may not always be effective. The course allows students to
practice and master study skills, self-management techniques, and work habits
needed for conquering their homework assignments and commitments in all
courses. The goals of this workshop are that students will learn more, get
higher grades and test scores, have a better attitude about teachers and school,
and increase their self-confidence. Instructor: Janie Larson,
Ridgefield 2008 Teacher of the Year
