US Grade 5 - 8
Imagine a world under the sea. We'll each pick a part of a watery land and people it with whomever we like: Octopus kings, mermaid clans, or strange creatures that lurk in the darkest part of the sea. There's no homework--just fun, as students improve their writing skills and practice their presentation skills by reading their work aloud to others.

Learning Goals: FOR PARENTS: As the class goes on students will get practice in: • Organizing their thoughts with pre-writing exercises • Reading their work out loud • Listening to their peers in an engaged and respectful way • Giving articulate, respectful, and helpful feedback to their peers • Developing focus and concentration on a task • Letting their creative ideas flourish • Exciting collaborative engagement with other students
This workshop is for kids who relish a creative challenge. There's so much to write about--new characters, new creatures, new adventures--your tween won't want to stop even after writing time is over. The collaborative world building element of creating their own planet creates a bond between students that they won't forget.

Positive reinforcement for strong writing from the group encourages students to write at a more challenging level.Grades Offered
Students should have access to writing paper and pen for each workshop class. We want to put our inner critic away--it's too easy to erase words on the computer. Tip: have a folder on hand so you can put stories from the workshop together at the end of each day.
