Secret Agent 826: Spies & Mystery Stories

Being a top secret agent takes guts, stealth, and hard work. Following in the footsteps of James Bond, Carmen San Diego, and even Perry the Platypus, we’ll study the greats and put our problem-solving skills to the test. As we explore the power of symbolism, the logic of cause and effect, and how to read between the lines, students will construct a protocol for the newest secret agent at 826NYC.

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.
