90 – 120 min Workshop

This workshop helps students to break the ice, actually put pen to paper and start writing individual responses to the themes of personal journeys, play, protest and country. 

The goal is for each student to generate a number of different quick responses and begin writing one longer piece. 

Workshops include facilitated discussion of 1 of the 4 key frameworks of ideas, presentation and analysis of the mentor texts, verbal group creative games, writing exercises, tools for developing pieces and presentation of creative responses from our team. 

Schools can choose to focus on all of the activities above or we can tailor the workshop to focus more intensively on one or more areas.
