Deadline: 19 - 28 June 2012

The East Asia Writing Project Summer Institute for teachers and students returns to Hong Kong International School in June 2012.

The EAWP Writing Workshop is a practical, interactive writing course for teachers and students. The workshop focuses on the development of confident, independent writers, joining teachers and students in a common course, with some separate specialized modules.

Pedagogical modules for teachers include organization strategies for creating a writing workshop in your classroom, teaching writing in context with appropriate and efficient response, teaching students how to be effective responders, and designing assignment-specific assessment strategies.

Student modules teach participants how to transfer writing strategies for nbarrative and personal pieces to other forms and genre, with a focus on writing on demand - exams, college applications, SAT writing samples, and academic essays for any discipline.
