OSU-CSTW Summer Writing Camp 2008
“Multimedia Oral Reflections”


June 16-20, 2008, 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (lunch provided)
The Ohio State University, Campus Computer Lab

FREE to students who will be juniors or seniors in the next school year and to graduating seniors.

During the week-long camp, students will write essays based on a personal reflection about a specific person or a current or historical event and present 3- to 5-minute multimedia speeches on their work. The Ohio State University Libraries and the Willie & Vivian Gaddis Foundation for K.I.D.S. are sponsoring contests for camp students with cash prizes. Completed essays will be submitted to several newspapers for publication. Students will learn about writing, the research and peer review processes, critical thinking about a variety of topics, and perfect integration of text, visual, and audio technologies (Audacity and PowerPoint). Students will also see the exhibits during a tour of the OSU Frank W. Hale, Jr. Black Cultural Center and hear a presentation by Director Larry Williamson.
