This after school writing club enhanced their writing skills over the course of three months. They worked on everything they could think of: poetry, figurative language, mixed genres, The 6 Traits of Writing, revision strategies, mimicking author's craft, and much more. Their big project for the year was writing a publishing a book. As a team, they determined the elements of the original story, Peace of Power. The Mighty Pen Writing Club hopes to publish a book each academic school year; it's a tradition they hope lives on forever.
