First creative writing session, 26th Oct
last monday, i started my first creative writing workshop with the children in the NGO, and it was such a good experience. we started by playing an ice breaking game and then i discussed with them what stories they like to read and whether they tried writing a story before or not. i introduced them afterwards to the basics of writing a story, and then we started writing a story together where each kid says a sentence and the following kid continues till we reach the end of the story. challenges that were faced during the session is that kids don't like sitting only and listening, so next time there'll be lots of games and handcrafts related to the topic. also, their grammer and linguistic skills needs to be strengthened throughout the course

Mirette,
ReplyDeleteYour entries need to also reflect on what you are doing as opposed to what you are learning in class (and not just the reiteriating what you are doing).
You have to have an entry once a week.
Amira,
