Writopia：描繪自己的故事 - 寫作營

This 4-day writing club is designed to enhance the student's creative skills as an artist, writer, and speaker. The writing club is created to boost public speaking skills by incorporating them into the daily writing activities and build the student's confidence when reading to the class. Class participants will be encouraged to share their written creative works through oral expression and display through artistic creation regardless of skills, grade, or age. 

This club is best for students who enjoy having fun as they learn through listening to songs and looking at beautiful artwork and paintings to create an image of his/her own to write about. This class is topped with unique food models and catchy phrases to help guide students through their writing topics.
