Presentation Details:
Presentations: 60 – 90 students.

characters and settings, point of view, how stories develop from
personal experiences, and what’s involved in the editing and publishing
process.

for grades 3-8. Up to one class at a time.
Sessions involve brain-storming, role playing, writing, reading and
storytelling to help young writers explore their interests.
Workshop Topics:
Nothing ever happens to me - Writing what you know
Characters to remember – how to create interesting characters
Who talks like that anyway? – writing dialogue
How was that again? - Retelling a story from a different point of view.
