West Virginia Writing Project Young Writers Contest
Directions to Upload Six County Winning Entries onto
Please note that Dr. Lisa Heaton, MUGC, has written excellent online directions
for using WebCT at
www.marshall.edu/supersaturday/logindirections.htm
Young Writers Coordinators are required to upload their six county winners to
Marshall University’s Blackboard.
Although winning entries still must be sent for judging as we have always done,
adding the entries to WebCT will accomplish two important things:
First,
each winning entry must be word-processed in
MICROSOFT WORD. It can then be sent
to you as an attachment (but NOT in the body of an e-mail). We prefer Arial or
Times New Roman, font size 12. Please
add the name of the story and the student’s name to the top of his or her paper
for the electronic copy only, and save it to your computer.
Second,
each paper must be saved to your computer that is connected to the Internet. Use
the name of the entry to save the paper, such as, My Grandma’s Cooking.
Then, use your computer to go to: http://muonline.marshall.edu
