It is the mission of the Canton High School Writing Center to support and enhance the written expression of all students. A student-staffed center will open dialogues about best practices in writing and provide a structure and positive atmosphere for students to improve their written work. This is a facility designed to work with students of all writing abilities, and peer tutors are trained in methods that will help the students utilize stronger writing strategies that will allow them to enhance their own work. The center is founded on the following principles:
1. Writing is a process, and students of all ability levels should strive to improve their craft.
2. The writing center is a safe place designed to encourage open and honest conversations about writing strengths and challenges.
3. Student-to-student tutoring leads to a better overall attitude about the writing process and an increased commitment to success.
Email the coach (a day in advance works best) to set-up a time either before, during, or after school!
The Writing Center is more of a process than a place. You will meet with your coach at one of the tables in the front part of the Learning Commons--the ones near Mrs. Marze's desk.
