Entering Grades 5 – 8 in Fall 2022
Dates: July 11 – 14 and July 18 – 21, 2022
Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
In this creative writing workshop we will begin by exploring three fiction genres: fantasy, magical realism and realistic fiction. We will learn from the work of master writers (Madeline L’Engle, J.K. Rowling, Isabel Allende and Jandy Nelson). We will choose a genre, develop characters, and work with the support of other writers to create a world and challenges our character(s) will face. We will build a supportive writing community, take part in friendly competitions (daily word wars, synonym sprints and plot roller coaster challenges), hone our skills, and have ample time to plan and write our own creative stories.
