Item Description

Skip the line and enroll early for the Young Inklings creative writing class next Spring at Las Lomitas.

In this class, your (1st-3rd grade) child will play their way to the page!

Society of Young Inklings’ unique methodology uses active improvisational games to inspire young writers in the creation of original stories. When you’re the author, your story can take you any place you can dream up. In this class, students will create a short story that takes place in at least two spectacular settings.

Students will explore the essential elements of story: character, setting, plot, beginnings, endings, conflict, word choice and sensory description.This class is designed to inspire and challenge young writers based on their unique needs and skill level. Group instruction during each session deepens students understanding of story development. During writing time, instructors circulate to individualize the learning process for each student.

Each young writer receives a workbook and journal. Writers will have an opportunity to share their masterpieces with family and friends on the last day of class.

Classes are held weekly for an hour after school, with a maximum size of 15 students.
