Instructional Highlights of the Week
Finding Your Voice
Our 8th Grade Language Arts teachers (Ms. Oates, Ms. Wilson and Ms. Rivard) invited guest speaker Ms. Beth Volpert-Johansen a Freelance Writer and Video Editor at NightGlass Media to our school. Ms. Volpert is an experienced content provider, ghost writer and editor who spoke with our students about "Finding Your Voice". She shared her experiences working for the Grayson Gazette and teaching as an elementary teacher. However, her passion is writing and currently the Lead Writer for the Gwinnett Citizen. Ms. Volpert stated how important it is to listen to people's stories and how to use their voice to become familiar with character traits. In addition to observing a person's character traits, learn the mechanics of writing, "a writers voice is something that is uniquely their own, and makes them familiar to you."
