Festival Field Trip: Where Young Readers Meet Great Writers!

A morning of stimulating, thought-provoking events
designed for students Grades 9 to 12

Thursday, September 23, 2010,
9 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Holiday Inn Kingston Waterfront

Teachers—start the school year by introducing your students to some of Canada’s top writers and thinkers.

Students—come meet the writers, get involved in the issues you care most about, ask questions of the people who write the books that shape your world.

Kingston WritersFest has designed a morning of events geared especially to high-school students. The lineup includes nationally and internationally renowned authors chosen for their ability to connect with teenagers. Sessions aren’t just aimed at students taking English and Writer’s Craft. Students and teachers of Science, Drama, Geography, History, World Issues, Anthropology or Sociology will all find exciting sessions to stimulate discussion and tie in with your course work back in the classroom.

Questions? Concerns? Please contact Angela Saxe at education@kingstonwritersfest.ca or drop in to the Kingston WritersFest Office after July 1 at 188 Sydenham Street, downtown Kingston.
