Volunteer Role: Writing Coach
About the program: The Museum by Susan Verde inspired second-graders to explore their intuitive responses to artwork they viewed on a field trip to a museum. Writing coaches will help students use their new vocabulary to revise their drafts that describe their responses to a piece of art they felt a personal connection to. Their work will be published in a book.
