KEC 2022 秋季 Scholastic 写作竞赛班
一年一度的Scholastic Art & Writing Award的写作竞赛即将拉开序幕,KEC Academy也已整装待发,为带领我们的学生们在强手如林的竞赛中再次获得辉煌胜利做好了充分的准备。
Scholastic Art & Writing Award是美国著名的一项艺术和写作方面的竞赛,涵盖范围广泛,给有才华的学生们提供了丰富多彩的竞赛项目,也得到众多的企业支持和赞助。每年都吸引了大批爱好写作、愿意挑战自己、提高自己的优秀学生参与。能够在Scholastic全国的竞赛中获奖,既是对学生知识和能力的肯定,也是对学生的鼓舞和激励。同时,这类有可核实成绩的竞赛项目能够帮助我们的学生在将来的大学申请中占有突出和独特的优势。
KEC提供五类写作竞赛课程,每个写作类别有多个时间段班次,每个班专注于一个类别。这些类别有:
短篇小说(short story/flash fiction/fantasy):
通过对名家(如 Raymond Carver)作品的研读,讲授虚构小说(fiction story)中的各项要素,学生们学习并应用小说中各种形式的观点表达、独白,对话,暗示,描述,情节发展等方面的技巧,写出一定字数的小说。
诗歌(poetry):
讲授各种诗歌形式,比如莎士比亚的诗、彼得拉克的十四行诗、六行诗、牧歌、俳句、现代诗歌等,介绍并练习诗歌的各种创作技巧,在课程结束时要能写出有质量的、可以参赛的诗歌作品。
个人作文(personal essay):
个人作文题材和风格比较广泛和自由,包括个人的想法和思想、从前的记忆或自己的经历、个人的观点等。课堂将通过名作家(如Michel de Montaigne)的具体范例,介绍这类作文的写作思路和写作方法。每个学生可以根据自己的情况选择合适的主题,写出有自己风格的文章。这种personal essay的竞赛练习对将来申请大学文书的准备,大有裨益。
剧本写作(playwriting, screenplay writing, comedy等):
通过学习和研究具体剧本(by Henrik Ibsen),讲授影视剧本或舞台剧剧本写作所需要的对白、道具、场景布置、场景切换、拍摄角度等各种概念和相关方法。学生需要先写出舞台剧的剧本,然后再写出影视剧本。 影视剧本写作在互联网、娱乐和游戏产业界有广泛的应用。
批评性写作 (critical essay):
讲授所有关于调研和批判性思考类写作的基础知识和技巧。学生将学会如何针对有兴趣的题目进行头脑风暴,以及利用数据库,搜索引擎和参考书目寻找学术资源,并从中概述论据,选择引文,进一步地分析和阐释引文。然后规划出一个复杂的论证路线,最终编辑完成整篇文章。
学生可以任选其中的一个或多个类别。每周一次,每次1.5小时。除讲授上述内容外,老师还会根据竞赛要求,讲授竞赛文章的特点、参加竞赛需要注意的问题和相应的方法,参赛文章的写作技巧、以及如何在竞赛中脱颖而出等,力求帮助学生写出高质量的文章。学生们在老师的指导下,选择合适的题目,先写一小部分(比如数百字的片段),练习该类型文章的写作,学习相应的写作方法和技巧,寻找自己的感觉,并随时调整自己。一旦决定深入进去,学生会在老师的带领下对文章的构思进行分析和讨论,通过头脑风暴,从自己写作的角度和逻辑,梳理自己的观点和表述形式。学生通过运用已有的写作能力和在课堂上学到的技巧来构思和创作自己的作品。 在课堂上,学生们的初稿在老师点评和指导下,在同学们互相的评价中,将得到进一步的修改和完善。根据学生的写作能力和个人需求,老师可能会有不同的要求,并会设定相应的目标。
本竞赛课程由KEC实力团队导师们授课。连续数年KEC实力团队培养出众多(包括 Scholastic Art & Writing Award,纽约时报等)获奖学生,包揽数十名金奖和银奖,也输送了数名优秀学生入选顶尖的Iowa写作营,取得了傲人成绩,显示超强的实力。

过往学生的评语:
《Scholastic Art & Writing Award》写作竞赛金奖获得者Maggie
I learned greatly from Dr. Jeffrey’s weekly lessons. In his class, I got to share my stories with many other kids and learn from their view perspectives. Dr. Jeffrey helped us analyze other winners’ articles which I find particularly helpful. He shows a lot of patience in guiding us through articles and teaches us to write with our own voice. I am truly thankful to Dr. Jeffrey’s classes. I will join his class again. – Maggie
我从Dr. Jeffrey的课程中学到了很多东西。在他的课堂上, 我与许多其他同学分享我的文章,并从他们的观点中学习。Dr Jeffrey帮助我们分析其他获奖者的文章,我觉得这些文章对我特别有帮助。他在指导时表现出极大的耐心,并教我们用自己的声音写作。我真的很感谢 Dr. Jeffery, 今年会再次参加他的课程。
《Scholastic Art & Writing Award》写作竞赛金奖获得者Isabelle
I took a class to prepare for the Scholastic Art & Writing Award with Dr. Jeffrey when I was 13. In the class, every student received personal assistance and suggestions from Dr. Jeffrey on the entire process while still doing the work themselves. Dr. Jeffrey not only inspired me to write better; he also encouraged me to explore and develop my own writing style. My time spent learning from Dr. Jeffrey was very valuable。 – Isabelle
我从13岁起就跟随Dr. Jeffrey 的课程参加 Scholastic 写作竞赛。在课堂上,每个学生都得到了Dr Jeffery 的帮助和建议,但同时, 每个同学仍然独立地完成自己的写作。Dr. Jeffery 不仅激励我写得更好;他还鼓励我探索和发展自己的写作风格。我在Dr. Jeffrey 那儿学到了非常宝贵的功课。
《Scholastic Art & Writing Award》写作竞赛课学生Andrew
Before I signed up for Dr. Jeffrey‘s writing class, my composition was a mess. Run-on sentences left to right, misplaced punctuation all over the place, and the verb tense switched every other sentence. But through Dr. Jeffrey’s expertise and patience, I was able to recognize and overcome my fallacies. Not only was he a great teacher who greatly improved my writing, he was also someone who I was comfortable joking with and sharing my frustrations with. He helped me overcome my writer’s blocks and opened my eyes to new styles of writing. He even sacrificed his free time to look over my writing pieces and make comments. Dr. Jeffrey was a figure of hard work, never-ending patience, and strong determination. My writing took a great leap forward because of Dr. Jeffrey.
在上Dr. Jeffrey的写作课之前,我的作文是一塌糊涂。满篇布满了错误的标点符号,动词时态交错。但是经过Dr.Jeffrey专业和耐心的指导,我能够发现并纠正我文章中的错误。他不仅是一个让我在写作上取得长足进步的优秀导师,他也是一个让我愿意与之无拘无束地开玩笑和分享我的烦恼的人。他帮助我克服了我写作的障碍,让我开阔了眼界接触到了新的写作风格。他甚至牺牲了自己的休息时间检查我的文章并留下评语。Dr.Jeffrey 是一个努力工作,永远不会失去耐心和拥有坚定决心的人。因为有了Dr. Jeffrey,我的写作才有了巨大的飞跃。
本课程适合13岁以上的学生,全部zoom在线课程。
9/8开始,每周一、 四、五、六有课,每次1.5小时, 共10次课。
