DESCRIPTIONIn this workshop, the author of "Where is Dan?", Lydia Lok will share writing tips on how she created the story, and also how the food characters from her book were developed. Participants will then be guided to develop their own characters too. Co-taught with her husband Yao Shuohan (MOE-trained teacher), this workshop will be taught using her picture books, and will help children to identify elements in a narrative structure, such as plot, characters, setting, theme and point of view (to build up suspense and conflict). Participants will also be given the opportunity to write a story featuring their own characters. > Suitable for children aged 7 to 12 years old. > $5 workshop feeChoose the age appropriate workshop: > Creative Writing Workshop 1 [7-9 yrs old] : 8th July, 3.00pm - 4.30pm > Creative Writing Workshop 1 [10-12 yrs old] : 8th July, 4.30pm - 6.00pm * We have limited FREE seats.
