Kids ranging from ages 6 to 11 had a blast last Thursday during our first summer creative writing sampler!
What makes a good story? Tonight our focus was on word choice.
Good writers use strong action words! They show -- not just tell.
They stay away from tired, overused words! "Hot" becomes "scorching." "Tired" becomes "droopy."
We dug into our story buckets for inspiration.
A key, a wire, a diaper, a bandage, a chef's hat, a boot, a magic wand, a tape measure, a snake . . .
If you had been here, what would have been in YOUR story bucket?Join us for our next workshop on June 19 and find out! Visit our Facebook page for more pictures from our workshop.
