Item Description

One four-week mini-session (75-minutes each) for your child and two friends (grades 3-12). YouthInkwell instructor comes to your home at agreed upon time with all the supplies needed to create a memorable experience for all. Student assessment is provided to all at the completion of the course.

Pick from one of the classes listed below:

1. “The Grocery Store” ~~ Available to Grades 2-8 
**Food Equity, Social Responsibility**
“Think globally, eat locally” is our motto as we show the many ways our choices can impact the world around us. Students explore ideas about becoming global citizens who use limited resources responsibly—all while mastering some fabulous vocabulary words. Students find all the staples here—grammar, vocab, reading, and style—as they focus on developing their analytical writing ability.

2. Thesis & the Grammar Gods ~~ Available to Grades 3-5 
**Leadership**
We focus a bit on the grammar nuts and bolts every student needs, but we have a hoot load of fun, too. Reading Greek myths with a twist (imagine them from Hades' point of view), kids will do their own creative writing about what makes a hero. To add a bit of flavor, we’ll look at some real life stories of kids who fight for the things they believe in – all to determine exactly what qualities we look for in our leaders. Short weekly writing assignments will help students develop analytical writing skills with an emphasis on topic sentences and supporting detail.

Item Special Note
