National Student Writing Contest

The YES! National Student Writing Competition demonstrates how teachers can use YES! Magazine stories as the basis for thought-provoking writing, and gives students an opportunity to voice their opinions and show off their exemplary writing. Each quarter, students will have the opportunity to read and respond to a selected prompt. The prompt will be available on Sept 6.

Now is the time to think about including the YES! National Student Writing Competition in your fall curriculum. For fall 2011, students will read and respond to the YES! article, “Why My Dad’s Going Green.”
