Golf & Writing: A Worthwhile Combination
The week of August 3rd, Academic Impact partnered with Ancil Hoffman Golf Course to provide a four day athletic and academic camp for youth golfers. Four young student-athletes enjoyed golf training in the morning, lunch, and writing development in the afternoon. Brent Pottenger, Brian Geremia, and David Campos of Academic Impact facilitated the four day writing workshop in a small, conversational setting. Each student produced a five paragraph essay on, you guessed it—golf! Topics covered included: introductory paragraphs, body paragraphs, conclusions, thesis statements, topic sentences, and elements of punctuation.
Many thanks to Ancil Hoffman for coordinating this experience. The golf course, set on acres of nature preserve, provides an ideal location for focused learning.
