Inklings is the student writing club at Simpson Middle School. Sponsored by Mrs. Krista Wilson, the club focuses on writing in genres outside those found in the ELA curriculum. Inklings spend a lot of time on Science Fiction as well as Fan Fiction. They discuss the process or writing science fiction, examine the themes and topics covered in science fiction and research the same in order to lend credibility to their own writing. They also use technological means to share their writing, elicit feedback from their peers, and publish their writing to the outside world. Students have been competing in the FLL Robotics competition for the past 4 years.
