Let your imagination run wild with a series of three livestream creative writing and illustration workshops! In each workshop, Gavan Cheema will read 5 pages of her children's fiction piece in development, The adventures of Himmat Kaur and Fateh Singh, and together with a group of kids we will illustrate the pages, explore writing techniques and tips and make the story come to life! This workshop is a unique opportunity for children to be a part of the storytelling process. Not only will they learn what goes into writing a good story but their voices will help the further development of the piece!
This week we will focus on the importance of Character and Plot development.
After our check-in, the children will present their illustrations to the group! We will read out loud the next 5 pages and create more illustrations. The children will be encouraged to ask questions and give feedback on the story. Our discussion will be focused on how to create a character and explore the different types of plot structures that help make a piece active.
