Aperçu de How to … : An Informational Writing Contest for Teenagers
The "How to..." Informational Writing Contest invites students aged 13 to 19 in middle or high school to write a "how-to" essay of 400 words or fewer. Participants must explain how to do any task, ensuring the topic is appropriate for a family newspaper. A key requirement is to find, interview, and quote one expert on the chosen subject. The contest is inspired by The New York Times Magazine's "Tip" column. Submissions are judged by New York Times journalists, Learning Network staff, and educators. Winners have their work published on The Learning Network.
