The 826NYC Survival Guide: How to’s for the End of the World

Whether it’s the end of the world or just feels like it, we all need tips to get through tricky situations. In this workshop, students will draw from experience to imagine characters who are expert problem-solvers. From making a raft out of twigs to building a delicious sandwich when the fridge is almost empty, these characters know how to do it all! By the end, students will develop guides and zines that will empower those in trouble to overcome their obstacles—large or small, real or imaginary.

About Write Away Workshops

We know that young authors have the power and imagination to go beyond the five-paragraph essay. In Write Away Workshops, students explore a multitude of genres and subjects, and develop their voices as writers. Groups write freely and participate in imaginative writing activities and lessons. Young writers leave each workshop with a piece to be proud of, as well as a newfound understanding of the topic and new friends.
