The Art of Story Writing

If you have ever dreamt of becoming an author or simply writing stories for fun, look no further. In this collaborative class, Michelle and her writing team of various students,
are writing a book scene by scene. Every student adds their own ideas, guided in real time to integrate into the story. Michelle will show you how characters, plot, and setting are used to create a story. The goal of this class is to eventually publish a finished book, creating a
tangible accomplishment that will empower students and raise their skills.
Book Club
Tuesdays
10:30am - 11:30am
Go on endless adventures with Michelle as she reads aloud each week. Hang out with friends safely, over zoom, as you listen to a story being told and explored. The best discussions arise out of questions that are open-ended so everyone can bring their own perspectives and offer more than simple “yes, I agree” or “no, I don’t” answers. The club is a place where people are encouraged to share their personal perspectives and listen to others and their interpretation of characters, plots and possibilities.
