Pen and Tell It!
Interactive writing workshops for grades 2-8, covering superhero creation, character development, and creative storytelling.
It’s time for the fall season of Pen and Tell It! Jump into the season with our new classes that have a little bit for everyone. These stand-alone sessions allow you to try new ideas, writing skills, fascinating prompts, and more! NOVEMBER 8 CLASSES Bird? Plane? No, YOUR Superhero! 2nd and 3rd grade // 1-2:30 pm // $20 Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s your very own superhero! You’ll learn how to build a superhero from scratch including character traits and design, and then you will create your own comic. Capes not required. Toil and Trouble 4th and 5th grade // 1-3 pm // $25 Flex your mischievous muscles in this diabolically interactive writing workshop. You will create a “trouble stew” for your character and write your characters into and maybe, only maybe, out of their situations. You’ll see why trouble is the engine that fuels a character, drives a story, and makes it interesting. Founding Bothers 6th, 7th, and 8th grade // 1-3 pm // $25 George Washington. Thomas Jefferson. These are names that have gone down in history…and put us to sleep. In this class, we’ll fix it: create your own crazy founder (a tapdancing robot squid?) and then have a wild debate with everyone else’s character to create the Future Constitution.
