Join us for a fun week of digital storytelling! This workshop will have students learning how to tell stories from their life and make them even more meaningful with graphic design, audio/visual production, collages, and more. Students will learn about their writing voice and what digital creation can do to enhance storytelling experiences.

This workshop combines the fundamentals of cooking to teach students about writing and narrative. Mise en place is a phrase in the culinary industry that means “putting into place” and is a technique that involves preparing ingredients and tools before the act of cooking. This workshop will teach students the mise en place of storytelling. Activities will include having students gather their mise en place to tell a story without words, instead, using objects and craft supplies (provided by instructors), going back to the basics of writing by looking at children’s literature to learn narrative structure, and eventually writing their own story.
