The December 2010 edition of the Oaktown Teen Times features a story by Media Academy student Jazmin Garcia about WriterCoach Connection at Media Academy and Mandela High School. You can access the paper on the WCC website. Hit the News & Events tab at the top of the homepage, then select News Media from the dropdown menu. The WCC story is on Page 3.
WCC has entered its third consecutive year at Media, serving all of teacher Sonja Totten-Harris' tenth-grade students. Writer coaching came to Mandela this fall, serving all tenth graders in the classes of teacher John Nepomuceno. Meantime, we're delighted to announce that WCC will expand to all of Mandela's ninth graders this spring, in the classes of teacher Deborah Juarez.
