Read, Write, Edit. Every Day.

 

First, what IS The EWC Journal ? Well, In order to understand the purpose of EWJ, we must first revisit the definition of a “journal.”

Read Our Journal

The goal of the program is to:

  • To form positive habits of reading reputable periodicals in order to regularly engage with current events
  • To reflect on how the world at large impacts students’ own lives through various written media
  • To provide individualized and personal feedback on our students' work and showcase them to a public audience in order to generate positive feedback

We are thrilled that you are considering joining us on this mission and cannot wait to see what incredible work you will produce.

Read What Our Students Wrote About EWJ!

"A Writer's Path"
"All About EWJ"
"Goodbye, EWJ"

I recently won 5 Scholastic writing awards in the Midwest region from the creative writing pieces that I did during the summer journal writing sessions (2 gold keys, 1 silver, 2 honorable mentions)!

“Reading and writing used to be something Kevin hated the most. After taking EWJ, Kevin has gained so much confidence and grown to love writing. He said, ‘I’m not afraid of writing anymore!’ He asked to take EWJ again this summer. “

EWJ improved my writing drastically. Using the tools EWJ provides, I carved a statue out of what used to be a simple rock.

EWJ is pretty intensive, but you can feel your writing skills and journalistic conventions improving by leaps and bounds. And although it takes a while to adapt to the program and to fit it in your daily life, it really is a great course to exercise and train your writing skills, as well as a place where you can receive daily feedback from professionals.

EWJ is unlike any other program I've done before because it gives me the unique opportunity to not only receive daily feedback, but also see my works published ... I'm glad I found this program, and I highly recommend it!
