Hi friends!
If you're receiving this email, you've probably taken a 5000 Words class in the past. Some of you expressed interest in continuing. Below is what I have in mind for 2024/25.
For high school students: a once-a-month writing club with a workshop focus. I'm calling it 5000 Words to keep things simple, but we all know you'll write more than 5000 words haha!
I booked the small conference room at the Berea Library for the last Tuesday of the month (starting in September) from 9:15 - 10:30 AM. We'll have writing prompts, a grammar component, and workshops. The out-of-class work will be to finish the writing assignments and comment on your peers (reading submissions of less than 3000 words).
A $50 curriculum fee will reserve a place in the club for the entire 2024/25 school year. I will provide an atmosphere where students can create and share their ideas and be challenged to think critically about the process of writing.
For families: The Berea Library is next to Coe Lake which has a wonderful playground and new treehouse as well as trails to walk and a pond for fishing. The metroparks entrance is across the street.
Here are the dates (last Tuesdays of the month):
September 24
October 28
November 26
OFF DECEMBER - Merry Christmas!
January 28 (workshop)
February 25 (workshop)
March 25 (workshop)
April 22 - (workshop) Last class*
Email me if you would like to sign up or have more questions. The class will fill on a first come, first served basis, up to 11 students.
I take Venmo, Paypal, or a personal check.
Best,
Kelly Griffiths
*Alternate day - if I have to cancel a class b/c of weather or illness, we'll have an extra month to meet: May 20
