2019 Summer Letters About Literature Camp
- Description: This camp combines reading and analysis with writing instruction to assist each student in writing a letter to the author of a book, short story, poem, or speech. Students will read their chosen work, research the author (including background and personal views), describe how the work has been impactful, and write a letter to the author that expresses how the author's writing has been personally meaningful. All letters will be correctly formatted and prepared for submission to the Library of Congress Letters About Literature contest. A second week focused solely on revision will be offered to students interested in submitting a highly competitive paper to the contest. Before the revision week begins, the instructor will review each paper and provide extensive individualized feedback and recommendations, which may then be implemented by the students.
