Fall Writing Workshops - 5th/6th Grade & 7th/8th Grade
Mary Mangiacotti, an award-winning English teacher who just won the VFW's Vermont State Teacher of the Year, has been offering writing workshops in New Jersey and Vermont for the past three years. This year, Mary will be available to teach students in the Cranford/Westfield area. Mary has a Masters degree in Reading and has taught a wide variety of grades, including first, third, fourth, fifth through eighth English, and at the community college level. Mary has also tutored many high school students in how to approach the five-paragraph essay. Using fairy tale and Greek myth rewriting exercises, Mary introduces a variety of sentence structures that immediately raise the students' quality of writing. For seventh and eighth grade students, she focuses on the five paragraph character analysis essay. You will not regret sending your child to this intensive writing camp.
