Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We are hoping this project will lead to an increase in the number and quality of book manuscripts we receive that were written by teenagers from Hennepin County. We also want our class to help educate teen writers about possible careers in the publishing industry available to them after high school. We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes by tracking the number of manuscripts submitted by teenagers who attend the class. We will also measure student knowledge retention and interest in the content presented through a survey attendees are asked to fill out on the last day of the class.
