Update from the International Writing Olympics
Hello teachers and Peace Corps volunteers,
As we enter the final week of our competition, I have some exciting news -- the national organizers have finished collecting the prizes that winning students will receive!
1. National winners will receive:
- a certificate [from the US Embassy]
- a book about America/ American Literature [from the Embassy]
- a writing-related book [from English journal]
- a booklet of writing ideas [financed by American Councils]
- publication in The Kyiv Post [online and/or in print]
- publication in English journal
- publication on a dedicated IWO-Ukraine website
Oblast winners will receive:
- a certificate [from the US Embassy]
- a booklet of writing ideas [financed by American Councils]
- publication on a dedicated IWO-Ukraine website
Also, we've had some more schools join in the competition recently. In total, these are the schools/cities that are participating from our oblast: Lubny (Specialized English School), Myrgorod, Hadiach, Kremenchuk (Poltava Regional lyceum at the Kremenchuk Teacher's Training School), Khorol (5 schools), and Poltava (only the Pedagogical University is competing in Poltava, so their essays will be judged separately)
Finally, remember that Friday [February 25] is the last day for students to be writing their essays. Please email the winning essays to me by March 11.
As always, please ask me if you have any questions. Thank you for all you've already done to make this a successful project!

THE INTERNATIONAL WRITING OLYMPICS
THE INTERNATIONAL WRITING OLYMPICS has come to Ukraine!
This creative writing contest, coordinated by Peace Corps Volunteers in several countries, is a great way to encourage pupils [forms 6-11] and university students [years 1-4] to use English in a fun and interesting way. Writing will be judged on creativity of ideas more than perfection of mechanics.
For you, getting involved in this project would mean, at the most basic level, holding a "Writing Hour" event between February 14 and 25,
in which all interested students attend and write their answers to an interesting prompt within a sixty-minute time period.
Different prompts will be provided for each age level.
Once these entries are completed, you and a committee of your choice [local English teachers, colleagues, etc] will choose the best entry from each age level, based on a grading rubric that will be provided.
This coordinator, a Peace Corps Volunteer, will help to judge at the oblast level, then forward entries to national competition.
National winners will then be forwarded to international competition.
