Monster Planet: Strange Stories

Move over Dracula and La Llorona, our students are getting ready to create their own unique monsters, ghouls, and creatures in this spooky fall workshop. Monster Planet kicks off the year by reintroducing the basics of storytelling, but with a creative twist! By the end of this workshop, students will have learned about mythical beings in literature and lore, then crafted their own creatures and lore to bring monster mythology to the modern day.

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.
