HOW TO TRAP A TINY TALE and TAME IT!
Creative writing workshop for young writers (Years 5 & 6)
Are you a young writer in Central Otago with a big imagination? Are you ready to turn your ideas into stories and learn more about being a writer?
Join writer and teacher, Heather McQuillan, as we trap tiny tales and learn ways to tame them. We will start with the essentials of a story, trap some on the page and discover ways to make them behave. Please bring: something to write on and with, your imagination, and a net (net optional)
