Hear a book and get inspired! Students ages 5-8 will experience the joy of story-creating however they are able, from writing to conversation-based brainstorming and development of new ideas.
Each week they’ll start by reading a book aloud and pay attention to one special thing the writer does (like using rhyme to impact the reader, or how the writer shows a character’s feelings). Then, they’ll work on activities inspired by that idea. Students brainstorm with volunteers and then do independent writing in whatever form and subject they choose. Students experience the joy of story-creating however they are able, from the physical act to conversation-based brainstorming and developing new ideas.
Families will be asked to fill out a registration form on their student’s first day. This form can be completed in advance on 826michigan’s website. There will be paper copies at the program too.
This is a drop-in program–join when you can!
