Feedback regarding recent conferences
Thank you for your recent participation in our 2016 fall conferences. In order to help us improve our process of engaging students in this new conference format we need your feedback to help guide our work. The student conference purpose was to provide a focused opportunity for dialogue around student strengths and growth opportunities as a learner. Engaging students with others in the design and assessment of their educational experiences is an essential goal of improving educational outcomes and developing successful life long learners.
Please click on the following link to take our short survey about the conferences.

In addition, we will be collecting donations of yarn so the refugees will be able to knit their own hats and mittens. There will be a box outside of WES from 11/16-12/2. Please contact Rachel Potts (protest@wwsu.org) for questions or more information. We greatly appreciate your support!
Interactive Author Talk and Writing Workshop On Saturday November 19th at 10 AM the Young Writers Project will present an Interactive Author Talk and Writing Workshop with Vermont author Doug Wilhelm (http://www.the-revealers.com/ ). The talk will be streamed live from the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington to six libraries around the state, including the Joslin Memorial Library in Waitsfield. This workshop is free and open to all ages, with grades 6-10 the target audience.
Doug will take the participants through the three stages of his writing process--what he calls the "three secrets." The session will start with a fun, active brainstorm session, where everyone can experiment with their own favorite types of brainstorming/prewriting. After getting ideas going, there will be a drafting stage, where participants will write a rapid-fire draft of their story. Finally, they'll complete a revising/editing stage, where writers will do a two-minute free write around the topic of what could be changed about their draft to help their reader understand more.
Participants will be able to share what they've done and answer/ask questions throughout the workshop. It should be very interactive and fast-paced. Participants will come out of it with a great start to a story that they can keep working on, and post on youngwritersproject.org for potential publication.
To participate, arrive at the Joslin Memorial Library, 4391 Main Street, Waitsfield, in time to begin writing at 10. Bring writing materials (paper and pen or electronic). Send questions to Joy Worland at programs@ joslinmemoriallibrary.com or call 496-4205.
