English Department's Goal Statements:
Writing Center:
Attention, Willowbrook students and parents/guardians! Did you know Willowbrook provides a Writing Center as a resource to assist students? Come by and get help at any or every stage of your writing process!
The center is dedicated to supporting students’ development into effective and confident writers, and students are encouraged to bring writings from any class assignment, college application essays, scholarship essays, or personal writings. We're available to help you revise digitally (shared via Google Docs or e-mail) or in person.
The center is open throughout the school day (from 7:30 a.m. to 3:10 p.m.) in room A115 (right next to the English office). Pupils are welcome to drop off papers, stop by during their resource or lunch period, or schedule an appointment for a writing conference by sending an e-mail to Writing Center Aide Conor Jansen (cjansen@dupage88.net).
. Conferences involve discussing strengths and weaknesses of the paper, introducing strategies and resources to improve writing, facilitating student-generated revisions (pupils are expected to be engaged in the editing process) and fostering a supportive and positive environment for writers.
* Students also can join the Writing Center Google Classroom with the Spring 2020 classroom code gsses6q
