Robertson: Literary Journal Club
The Literary Journal Club will be run by 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students who want to inspire Lotus students, raise interesting points and questions, and engage in dialogue about the world around us. In addition to taking student submissions of art and writing from the general student body, Literary Journal Club participants will critique submitted works, and compose their own works of art, music and movie reviews, student and teacher profiles, and creative fiction and nonfiction. The finished product will be free, and designed to elicit some sort of response from the student body-- be it laughter, questions, or comments and criticism. Wish us luck!
