Think Like An Author Creative Writing Program

This program goes beyond traditional creative writing exercises. Instead, the kids are presented with objects, pictures, smells. The “work” of writing turns into a game. Prompts include wrapped boxes with mysterious contents, keys, a shard of ancient Indian pottery, a pair of wingtip shoes, scraps of colored paper, and an ancient book bearing the inscription: “Open with extreme caution. Ignore warning at your own peril.” Intrigued? Young writers are too.

The exercises are loads of fun, but they will also help students achieve the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts. Narrative writing technique will be covered in detail: using concrete words, phrases and sensory detail to convey events; the use of dialogue, description and pacing; and organizing and managing a sequence of events.

Ages: 8-11

Cost: $60.00 per session

Availability: June 24-27, 2013 from 9:30-11:30am
