Classes and Lessons

Item Description

Winner gets a free week long class, Imagination Authors, at The Chyten Center in Newton! 

In Imagination Authors, Chyten teachers foster a love of writing by helping students write and publish their own real book! Using novels like Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia as inspiration, each class designs a fantasy world that includes major and minor characters, settings and locales, an extended backstory and a world of wonder.  The authors use artwork and brainstorming to design plot twists and dynamic characters.  Teachers continually guide the students, providing contextual lessons on writing techniques that include the use of appropriate dialogue, detailed descriptions, sensory-rich word choice, as well as character, plot and theme development.   Chyten instructors then synthesize the collective works into one class-wide novel representing those amazing imaginations. At the end of the course, students receive their first real novel—published, bound and signed by our Imagination Authors.  (Extra copies are made available as gifts to friends and family members).  

Summer Classes

Imagination Authors is one of a series of hands-on, real-life learning classes for elementary and middle-school offered by The Chyten Center this summer.  Offered as half day classes, two different classes can be paired to create a full day program for your child.
