In February, fourteen students in Mrs. DiMasso-Shininger’s Creative Writing class entered a Young Writers USA contest by writing a 100-word mini-saga around the theme of a “glitch.” All of the students’ stories were accepted for publication! This is the second time Mrs. DS has had students enter the contest, and on both occasions, all students were selected.
This anthology, called The Glitch - A Flaw in Fiction, will go to print on July 31, 2024. The title of their mini-saga is included.
Thank you Mrs. DiMasso-Shininger for celebrating your students' writing and providing a real-world opportunity for them to demonstrate their learning. #FeelingValued
