What are some of the dreams of Kidswrite?
Kidswrite students go far. We kids here at Kidswrite love all genres of writing and we have dreams for the future. Some of the dreams are met every year. Others take a little longer.
Kidswrite lets their students explore their imagination. They teach them to mold their ideas into stories, poems songs, and many other things. The teachers allow their students to write whatever they want and whatever they're feeling. The give a few examples to get the students' brains going. Then the teachers give activities to stretch our creative side. The teachers find many ways to teach us how to write creatively.
One more dream of Kidswrite is to be open and share with other participants. When kids share, they get ideas from other writers, hear how they start out, and hear how they can make their writing better. Whe you're open, you ask questions and learn how to do something you didn't know before.
They can also connect with other writers. You learn from others when you listen to them. Kidswrite lets you share if you want to and ask questions any time.
Another dream of kidswrite is to get kids more interested in writing. Kids need writing skills and kidswrite can do this. By kids getting more interested in writing it can help them in their grown-up years.
These three dreams help make wonderful, open, and kind writers. We hope that you agree that kidswrite makes these dreams a reality.
What are some of the goals of Kidswrite?
Today our teacher taught us about overcoming our fears of sharing our knowledge of riting with the class. First, the whole class came up with a list of genres. Doing this activity helped us share what we have learned. While other people were sharing, it may have reminded us of aother things we knew. Going over the genres will help us share our knowledge and get comfortable with sharing it with each other. For example, if somebody has a question about genres, you shouldn't be afraid of to give them some ideas. That will help us accomplish our goal of spreading our knowledge and not being afraid.
One of Kidswrite's goals is to expand kidswrite to other locations. Kidswrite is only in one locaiton but if their camp expanded more kids could be taught about writing. If other universities started Kidswrite programs then more kids that wanted to learn aobut writing could get the knowledge that we are learning. Many kids enjoy this camp and many more could. We could expand the Kidswrite camp by getting the word out with flyers to schools and the campers telling their friends. Another goal is to keep teaching kids about writing by giving examples and showing how to do things. The teachers don't just tell us what to do like other teachers. They participate in the activities with us.
