On a drizzly Tuesday evening, the Bipartisan Cafe was warm and buzzing with energy for the Franklin High School WITS reading. Throughout the semester, students worked with Lisa Eisenberg and Chuck Carlise to create and revise prose and comics. The comics were projected onto a screen as students guided the audience through the panels. Thanks so much to teachers Sandra Childs, Irene Montano, Norman Stremming and Dana Vigner for hosting writers in their classrooms! It was a fun event that showcased great work.
