Badgerdog’s writers-in-the-schools programs bring professional writers into school classrooms to lead creative writing workshops that guide students through an exploration of the literary arts, the imagination, and the power of language. In-school and after-school creative writing workshops deliver 20-30 hours of TEKS-aligned instruction in language arts. Participating students are exposed to various genres and practice all phases of the writing process—reading, critical analysis, brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and publication. Each workshop culminates with a student reading on campus in which each student reads his/her work before an audience of peers, family, and friends. Additionally, all Badgerdog students are published in a library-quality anthology at the end of the program. Students are also invited to attend a community-wide reading event and book release party, where they sign autographs and hear the work of writers from other workshops across Central Texas.
