Once Upon a Pigeon: Fairy Tales Reimagined

Once upon a time in a kingdom, far, far away… BORING!!! Let’s switch up the happily ever after and do something different. This workshop challenges students to redefine and reimagine all of their favorite fairy tales, whether we’re picturing a secret agent Cinderella or Bo Beep and her army of zombie sheep. This is our chance to turn all those fairy tales topsy-turvy and create something brand new.

In this workshop, students will work on writing skills including character arcs, descriptive details, humor, and originality.

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.
