Creative Writing Masterclass

Suitable for Years 5 and 6

Constructing Powerful Sentences

The best creative writing elicits a physical reaction from its reader – when a sentence is truly vivid, we can contort our faces in disgust or widen our eyes in awe. This session uses video, illustration and sample writing to help children identify exactly which elements make a reader engage and learn how to emulate these in their own writing.

Children will learn the importance of drafting and refining their work and will practise translating the images in their minds into powerful sentences on paper.

Crafting Compelling Characters

Whether your child’s a budding storyteller or a seasoned novelist, “Crafting Compelling Characters” will give them the essential tools to create multi-dimensional, memorable characters.

We’ll explore how to bring together motivation, appearance and personality to create dynamic protagonists and detestable antagonists.

Note: Children can attend the sessions individually and do not have to do both sessions to benefit.
