Authors David Poyer, Joan Lablanc, Claudia Young & Dr. Henry Mason to read at Pocomoke High's Writing Center Ribbon Cutting
Writing is a discipline, and like a muscle requires exercise. Good writing is good thinking, or so the saying goes. This Friday, December 12th, at 3:00 PM, Pocomoke High School welcomes four local authors to read from their work, and celebrate the written word. Best selling author David Poyer, romance writer Joan Lablanc, Dr. Henry Maxson, and Claudia Young will read from their work to commemorate the opening of Pocomoke High School's Writing Center, 1817. 1817 (the number address of the school's facilities) is a staffed writing center that aims to help students develop and hone writing skills. The center aims to help students be more successful on high stakes testing, but teaching the craft of writing eclipses standardized testing, and focuses on thinking and processing skills that will allow the student to be more successful in college, and in their career field. The skills required to be a successful writer are developed over a lifetime. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, sai
