Workshops 2013 Now Open!
Deborah Wiles Workshop
Title: Find Your Voice, Claim Your Story Description: All writing begins with personal narrative. We teach personal narrative writing to our students and ask them to satisfy and master all sorts of standards, across the curriculum. But ultimately, story grows out of our courage to write from the inside out, to touch the truth of our lives, the depths of our hearts, and the craziness of our souls. This is how we find our voices and help our students find theirs. Bring your notebook, your sense of humor, and a great willingness! Location: TBA Event ID: CLC-Wiles |
Laura Vaccaro Seeger Workshop
Title: Saving Stories Description: This workshop will focus on stories and books that were almost shelved for one reason or another, and what it took to make them a reality. Participants will be shown current books in progress and work together on problem-solving, continuity, character or design development, and the revision process. Participants will be given blank die-cut booklets on which they will work out design and content challenges using various art mediums. Location: TBA Event ID: CLC-Seeger |
Kadir Nelson Workshop
Title: Seeking Truth in Words and Pictures Description: This workshop will focus on defining and developing the visual language and style of a story. Participants will learn how to determine the essence of a story and create the accompanying artwork. Location: TBA Event ID: CLC-Nelson |
Chris Crutcher Workshop
Title: Things You Won't Learn from Your English Teacher Description: This workshop focuses on getting self-consciousness (as well as all adverbs and 50 percent of adjectives) out of your writing, character and story arc, choosing what to write about and some ways to get the things you see in the real world into your imagination through the keyboard and onto the manuscript of fiction (not to be confused with the fictional manuscript which, by it's very definition, doesn't exist).
