Each cohort of students will be led by one teaching artist and one teaching artist’s assistant. Teaching Artists’ Assistants will be responsible for supporting and collaborating with their assigned Teaching Artist in developing and leading all lessons for their respective cohorts.

In the morning session (10 am–12 pm), two groups of 10-15 students read and discuss excerpts of celebrated works of literature then participate in writing exercises connected to their reading.
