Navigating the Guided Writing Session Directory

The Guided Writing Session Directory is an easy to use platform for viewing the weekly Guided Writing Sessions and posting your written work. Each monthly program has it's own folder that includes the weekly Guided Writing Session playback links and writing promptsAll writing in response to the sessions, or on the monthly theme in general, should be posted in the corresponding folder. Writing submissions not specific to a given program should be placed in the Independent Entries Folder.

 

GUIDED WRITING SESSION DIRECTORY PAGE LAYOUT

Below is a description of the elements you'll come across using the Guided Writing Session Directory. Take a moment to poke around an acquaint yourself with the different options.

Small Gray Navigation Menu - These links are called bread crumbs and show you which folder and post you are currently viewing. Use these links to return to the previous folder or return to the Directory.
