Erin Y. Writing Conference YouTube Video

Are you interested in going to a writing conference where you can sharpen your skills and learn new techniques from professionals? If this sounds interesting, you should go to the Fifth Annual Media Matters Writing Conference, held at The University of Massachusetts, Boston. The Conference is held on November 6th (for high school students) and November 5th (for middle school students). Although this is for high school and middle school students, this conference should be extended to college students as well. The purpose of the workshops is to allow the students to see if they can see themselves having a career as a writer. Although college students already know if they want a writing career, this conference can help improve their skills a writer and they could possibly learn something new that they would not be able to learn in their regular classroom.

This conference features many different workshops that will help students and teachers in the real world. Professional writers from various aspects of professional writing come to the conference and actually teach the workshops. The professional teaching the workshops gives the students and teachers invaluable insight into their chosen profession. The workshops are not like any other. Instead of sitting there and listening to the lecture, the teachers give the students exercises to do. For teachers, this workshop gives them new and exciting writing exercises to teach to their classes. After you watch this video, it will inspire you to come and be a part of this new type of learning experience.
