Fall 2015 Classes

We hope you had a creative and inspiring summer. We’re thrilled to be adding a number of new classes to our lineup including our beloved “Magic Trunk” class for K-1 writers. We’ve also expanded to new locations—tell your friends! Registration is open for most locations. View the schedule HERE.

As you may be aware, some schools handle registration. If you see an “out of stock” notice this likely means registration is handled by the school itself. If you have any questions or would like to be added to a wait list please email Jena at jena@younginklings.org

The Magic Trunk: Exploring Stories (K-2)
In this class we’ll generate story ideas by using costumes and props from the magic trunk. Students will develop story comprehension and early writing skills. By the end of the class writers will have a collection of original stories both dictated and illustrated.

Young Inklings: Chatterboxes (2nd-5th)
In this creative writing class, we’ll create stories through improvisational games and activities. Writers will act out scenes from their stories, and explore each of their characters’ unique voices, humor and personalities. By the end of the class, writers will each have created their own short story or script!

Novelist’s Workshop (5th -8th)
Draft your novel in the company of friends! In this workshop, young writers will explore the finer points of story development through creative activities, facilitated critique sessions, writing time and one on one conferring. Students may feel free to come to class with a novel-in-progress, or begin from the very beginning.
