Dear Reader,
Do you know how to spot a constellation with your naked eye? What about how to turn instant noodles into a gourmet meal? Can you find quiet in a noisy place? Or survive as a fan of a losing team?
If not, the winners of our second annual How To Informational Writing Contest can show you how.
This past winter, we invited teenagers to choose a skill (any skill, whether physical or intellectual, practical or absurd), interview an expert on it, and then write a short, engaging essay explaining to a general audience how to do it.
As you’ll see in the work of our 10 winners, chosen from nearly 3,000 entries, the results were every bit as entertaining as they were informative.
We’ve already published the first six winning essays, and we’ll continue to publish the rest over the next few days.
We hope you enjoy the results as much as we do, and that, like us, you learn something new.
Sincerely,
The Learning Network
