Even if you can’t attend the live event, you can still watch it on demand at your convenience. It’s free. And [registration is quick](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgMkWDP0T2aHR0cHM6Ly93ZWJpbmFycy5vbjI0LmNvbS9ueXQvYXJndW1lbnR3cml0aW5nMjAyMD9wYXJ0bmVycmVmPUZlYjIxTmV3c2xldHRlciZ0ZT0xJm5sPXRoZS1sZWFybmluZyBuZXR3b3JrJmVtYz1lZGl0X2xuXzIwMjAwMjIxJmNhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU1Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE2MTQ2JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjE0ODAmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyX2xuXzIwMjAwMjIxVwNueXRCCgAog8BPXk51no5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). If you participate, you’ll walk away with a taste of how good questions can get your students writing; of how activities using appropriate mentor texts, like past student contest winners, can help them experiment with different writers’ moves; and of how a contest, with a chance to be published in The New York Times, can get young people excited about writing. What issues do your students care about? What gets them excited, inspired or angry? In this webinar, we’ll show you how these questions can lead to some truly brilliant student essays. We’re confident that if young people care deeply about what they’re writing about, they’ll invest more of themselves into it. We hope you’ll join us on Wednesday at 4 p.m. Eastern time.
