About this course:
When we live a rigorous schedule, it’s easy to set aside one’s own story. This writing workshop is for teachers to carve out time for themselves and delve deeper into their journeys and explore their personal histories and identities on the page. The workshop will offer pathways and create space for teachers to step into being writers and explore genres and document their lives. Using the workshopping process, the sessions will create a safe space for writing and feedback, identifying, place and setting, describing characters, PoV and developing a critical lens. By the end of the session, participants will have started larger projects which they can develop on their own or in other workshops.
