Summer School Teacher – Writing Workshop

Drew School is searching for a summer school teacher for the Writing Workshop. This is a part-time position. The Writing Workshop class meets for two hours per day for four weeks from June 16 through July 11, 2008.

In a supportive and collaborative atmosphere, students will develop their skills in the types of writing they can expect to be basic to their assessment as high school students. To write well, students need to be enthusiastic about the subjects they write about, so every effort will be made to make the class interesting and stimulating.

Guiding the course are the principles that writing improves with volume (students will keep daily journals, write in class, and work on weekly projects), variety (students will write descriptions, narration, and various types of essays), and have excellent models (students will read the works of acknowledged masters and successful students). Students will collaborate on stimulating ideas and revising drafts. Daily exercises and short lectures on grammar, usage, vocabulary, and syntax will be used to develop students proofreading skills. Students end the course by creating portfolios of their work and by submitting work to a class anthology.

Founded in 1908 and located at its present site since 1911, Drew is an urban, independent school enrolling 250 students in grades 9 through 12. The Drew School community is centered around experienced, dedicated, and passionate faculty and engaged, committed students.
