ODYSSEY MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT WRITING & ILLUSTRATION
SHOWING Over the course of the fall semester, students from Odyssey Middle
School experimented with fiction and poetry through collaborative challenges,
studies of master writers (including Yann Martel, Wallace Stevens, and Ray
Bradbury), and experimentation with literary elements like internal and social
conflict, point of view, and genre. For
their writings the students selected their own topics and generated drafts for
eight weeks. During the last month, we
worked through the publishing process with editor, agent, and illustrator
interviews - exchanging roles to help each other revise, improve, and polish
one final draft - to be read during the event!
Please meet these talented young folk!
