Three additional process writing clubs! Here we see boys from the Albert Academy Junior Secondary School rehearsing new topics during my visit, and we see Government Model JSS club conducting a content conference.
SELI provides public library cards for club members, but reading skills are developed within the workshop itself, in listening to someone else read aloud so you can respond; in reading your work aloud to a group--even in drafting and revising the students are constantly re-reading what they have written. 
The Government Rokel Junior Secondary School was doing rehearsing and drafting when SELI visited their club. We credit the facilitators for holding club meetings regularly, because of the shortage of space in these campuses where both morning and afternoon schools operate in the same compound. Attendance is affected by other school events and by personal incidents in the students' lives during these stringent economic times in Sierra Leone. We praise our Leading Young Writers facilitators for staying persistent and positive for the sake of the children!
