“This I Believe”
May 9th, 2012 at Proctors Theater, Schenecatady, NY-6:00-8:00 PM
What is the This I Believe project?: This I Believe is a nationwide essay project engaging people in writing, sharing, and discussing the core values that guide their daily lives. The project is based on the popular 1950s radio series of the same name hosted by Edward R. Murrow. In 2008, we used this template for our annual student celebration.You can view essays written by our Literacy students and tutors at ourwebsite:literacynycap.org
We are very excited to be continuing our own version of this project. The 2012 kickoff will be at our Student Celebration on May 9th at Proctor’s Theatre in Schenectady, NY at 6:00 PM (readings starting at 7:00PM).
What about the Essays?
Essays can be 50-200 words. Submissions can also be in the form of poetry or completed as a language experience story. Please EMAIL your essay to your Program Coordinator no later than April 21. We plan to compile and print all essays into a booklet to be distributed at the May 9th Student Celebration. PLEASE adhere to this deadline. Every year, we have a few students who cannot have their writing published because we have received it too late!
