Creative Writing Workshop with Dominic Cappuccino
Dominic Cappuccino is partnering with the FPL Young Adult Services to offer a creative writing workshop over the summer! Participants will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of writing a short – story and their components like setting, character and plot. It will be a great opportunity to practice your creative writing skills over 4 sessions.
No pressure! Judgment free! Just writing with other writers and sharing their creations.
The program is intended to serve students entering grades 7 – 10. Registration is required.
Keep your creativity flowing during the summer!
You can certainly dive deeper into your own identity by writing about a fictional character that is really a reflection of you! Not only does the workshop allow you to grow creatively, it also opens doors to your own self. Like writing in a journal, mashes of words on paper are a great starting point.
Each session will hold a different part of writing your own story. Write in whatever genre and in whatever format you would like:
- Writing about what you feel in the moment with your five senses
- The creation of dialogue between two characters
- The inclusion of our own experiences and emotions within our writing
- Individual and group revision in the form of PQP (praise, question, proposal)
Writing is often thought of as a solitary activity but at FPL in the Young Adult room, we pride ourselves in trying new things. So, we can write together! We can look for examples in the literature held in the YA room, or anywhere else.
Each session is very important to the progression of your own story so don’t miss out! The sessions will be held from 10:30 – 12:30 on the dates listed below (all Wednesdays):
- July 24th
- July 31st
- August 7th
- August 14
You only need to register for the July 24th session and attend the following.
We look forward to seeing you and learning more about where your individual creativity brings you! When all is said and done, we can keep the stories in the YA room or you can take them home. Hey! We may even be able to bind them…
