2010-2011 Writing Fair Information

Cobb County Writing Fair

Please remind all of the upcoming Writing Fair, which:

* encourages students at each local school to write in any genre and to follow the complete writing process to publish their writing;

* involves a team in judging student writing submitted at the local school to identify one winner per grade level;

* receives school winners from each participating school which are sent to the County (1 entry per grade level, K – 5) for a second judging;

* identifies one winner from each grade level K – 12 to be submitted for competition in the state-level Georgia Young Authors Writing Competition.

An excellent way to showcase your hard work and the writing proficiency of your students is to enter the Cobb County School District Writing Fair.  The 2010-11 Cobb County Writing Fair Brochure  and Pamphlet detailing guidelines, the district scoring rubric, and entry form are attached.  Please distribute this information to the appropriate instructional leaders to coordinate the local school writing fair competition.  Please read and follow the published directions carefully and submit one entry per grade level to the county office, Curriculum and Instruction, attention Deborah Chester, on or before March 11, 2011.  A completed entry form must accompany each entry (see attached).  Entries that are received on or before the due date will be judged to determine district level winners.
