6 Weeks, 3 Venues & Unlimited Fun! Register your Kids NOW for the 2017 Summer Creative Writing Workshop

Hello, parents!

What are your plans towards engaging your children this summer break? Should they spend all the six weeks watching TV and lazing around all day? Or will you involve them in a fun and creative activity that boosts their skills and confidence? I think the second option is much better, don’t you?

To achieve this summer break, Creative Writing Club has put up a Creative Writing Workshop for children aged 7 – 16. The purpose of the workshop is for them to engage their minds creatively, and improve their writing, reading and public speaking skills for two weeks.

In the first week, they will write a “fictional” story. They will create their story from scratch, given a concept. They will brainstorm, create characters, create an engaging plot, write a story, edit it and rewrite it. Then on the last day of the workshop, they will read their work to the class, and learn how to give and receive criticism.

During the second week, they will work on “non-fiction” writing. They will research into a topic, compile facts and figures, and write a detailed essay or report on their findings. They will also present this report to the class, and receive feedback, and suggestions for improvement.

At the end of the workshop, the best stories and essays will be published in a writing magazine that each child will receive at the end of the year.

During the workshop, the children will:

• Learn the different concepts of storytelling and essay writing
• Discover how to weave the elements together to create a good story
• Create their own characters
• Write a story of featuring their characters going on interesting adventures
• Learn how to conduct research on a given topic
• Learn to listen, read, discuss and give feedback on each other’s work
• Improve their grammar, spelling, and vocabulary
• Improve their punctuation, especially with writing dialogue.

Ages: 7 – 16 years
