Question

【题目】I created a writing group at my school this year, and it has become a hit with all students who enjoy writing. Now students of the group make rapid progress in their writing. Let me share a few tips that you can use to start your own writing group.

Set up separate groups for different ability levels

You probably don’t want to mix a gifted eighth grader with a second grader who writes very little. In a larger school, you could have a beginner group, a more advanced group, and a publishing group. Members can move to more appropriate groups if they are not comfortable in the current one.

Advertise the group in different ways

Send advertisements home with students, and put an advertisement on the school website or in the school newsletter.

The first meeting should be very open

At the first meeting, you should tell the students that this group is all about them. It is not a class, not a grade and not a requirement. Then tell them what some other writing groups do, and ask what they would like to do.

Set up a time to meet once or twice a month

It is important that students bring their writing with them. The group could go in any direction: criticize each other’s work, read your writing aloud, read silently, publish your work in a booklet (小册子), play creativity games or do an online chat with a published author.

It will take a little while to find out what works best for your group

Search for creativity exercises and role plays. You might even be able to set up a special section of your school’s website just for your writing group.
