Outside of Schools
Connie Biewald has led afternoon writing workshops for students in 6th-8th grade and high school. Students develop their writing skills through exercises and feedback. Each six week session ends with a reading for friends and family and the distribution of an anthology of the group's work. In addition to growing as writers, students develop critical thinking and social skills and grow in self-understanding and self-esteem through listening and responding to each other's work.
