Glimpses of Magic is the end result of a new program that 826michigan launched in the fall of 2021: the After-school Writing Lab. Many of our after-school students wanted to go deeper into the writing process, and so we worked together to create this magical space. Over the course of the year, through breakout rooms, students were supported by volunteers as they brainstormed, wrote, revised, and shared their writing. Students wrote about fantastic fictional worlds, their own real lives, and so much more. This book contains the final writing that students created out of all their sustained hard work, engagement, and the special writing community they built. We hope you enjoy diving into the magic!
