Reaching the Write Minds
My students need to take an amazing writing workshop.
My Students
Theater is where literacy gets real. We listen and speak and create on a daily basis.
My students are from tough backgrounds, but they have a love for the stage.
The students in my theater class are natural performers and enjoy being the center of attention. There is a lot they can do, and they will let no obstacles stand in their way as they pursue their dreams.
My Project
My students need to take an amazing writing workshop. This workshop is a fantastic way to hook kids into writing plays. They will spend the day working with a professional writer who will teach them step-by-step techniques. One will be chosen to be featured in the year-round apprentice program for up and coming writers. Getting to go would be incredible.
I have sent several groups of students to this workshop in the past 5 years.
They always come away engaged in the writing process on a deeper level. Taking a performer and molding them into a playwright in one day is an incredible thing to watch.
