It’s An Argument! – Writing Workshop (grade 7-8 students)

June 20 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

UCLA Writing Project Summer Camp

June 20 – 23 & June 26 – 30, 2023

9:00AM – 12:00PM  at UCLA

Instructors (Two sections):
Taiesha Fowler
Marivell Arayasirikul

Middle schoolers, you are the leaders of tomorrow, the ones who will make the decisions about robot operated cars, drive thru voting, and social media.

So it is important for you to learn how to debate and discuss issues in an academic way. You will have the freedom to explore topics that resonate with you. We won’t tell you what to think.

Instead we will teach you:

  • How to research information
  • How to form your own opinion
  • How to unpack related issues that affect your opinion.

By the end of this workshop, all of you will be able to articulate (through speaking and writing) your reasons and logic with quality evidence grounded in reliable sources.

Fee: $595

Registration is closed since we have reached capacity for this workshop.
