SCHOOL LITERARY CAMPS
|
SCHOOL LITERARY CAMPS are aimed at students with abilities and skills in English and art who would benefit from the extension of working with successful authors and illustrators who are experienced in teaching.
Each student group works with 2 presenters who will guide and assist them to complete a project during the camp. ATTENDANCE OPTIONS: The workshops are offered on a live-in basis or a day attendance for local schools. A bus to pick up students from local schools will be organised if there are sufficient numbers to warrant it. |
CAMP WORKSHOP OPTIONS: These two options will be run simultaneously with different student groups
Option 1. WRITE AND ILLUSTRATE A PICTURE BOOK:
Students will receive writing workshops on story structure and character development and art instruction on how to compliment the words with illustrations. They will then be shown how to set up the book for printing.
They will produce an 8 page picture book which will be bound for them to take home.
Option 2. WRITE A SHORT STORY OR PRODUCE A PLOT FOR A NOVEL:
The intensive writing workshops will cover plotting, character development, point of view, setting and how to enhance their writing to make it exciting.
The students will leave the camp with a completed and edited short story or plot for a novel. The short stories will be made into an anthology after the camp that the students can purchase.
They will have the option to attend art workshops to produce a book cover for the anthology or their story.
These programs can be tailored to suit individual schools.
