Writer's Workshop at Wayne Art Center

Wayne Art Center is offering the following class for homeschool students:

Writer’s Workshop
Creating and Illustrating My Own Story
Thursdays, April 26 – May 31, 12:30 – 2:30 pm, $95
Ages 7-10
With Kathy Hubbard
Creative Writing teaches children important things such as spelling, grammar, sentence construction, and continuity. Each class will begin with the reading of exemplary children’s literature to allow the students hear good writing while at the same time opening up their imaginations. Then, using these stories and poems as a guide, students will learn about the mechanics of writing through the creation, development and revision of his or her own work. The children will be encouraged to keep an in-class “writing journal” in which he or she will work on a variety of stories and poems with the goal of choosing one piece to revise and illustrate for a final “book”. Our last class will be a story/poetry reading where students can, if they choose to, present their finished book to parents and classmates.

Kathy Hubbard has been teaching creative writing for over ten years and has a Master's Degree from New York University.
