We will have an end of camp celebration at Jose's Mexican Restaurant on Dickson St. on Friday. We'll meet for lunch at 11:30. Following lunch, the Kidswrite participants will perform some of their favorite pieces from camp. Family and friends are encouraged to attend. We will provide lunch for the Kidswrite students, but everyone else will be responsible for their own tabs. After the performance, your child can ride home with you or go back to the Kidswrite room with the instructors for the rest of the day. We hope to see you there!
Setting: The Kidswrite classroom
Situation: The students brains are at work.
Scene 1
Instructor-- Oh, kids let's go outside and stretch. Touch your toes and reach high in the sky. Pretend you are reaching for something you want.
Student 1-- Ughh! I got it!
Instructor-- Let's go back inside and start our quick write.
Scene 2
Instructor--Kids, we have been hard at work on our quick write about having ten minutes stretched to a day. We wanted you to have concrete description. Does anyone want to share?
Student 1-- I made mine about riding a bike.
Student2-- I made mine about having an after school snack.
Scene 3
Instructor-- We brainstormed characters and broke into groups to make a play. What are your plays about?
Student 1-- Ours is a Harry Potter fan fiction. The boys wrote their play about aliens.
Student 2-- And ours is a romantic tragic comedy.
Student 1--Can we practice?
Instructor-- Sure!
Scene 4
Instructor-- We will now write a monologue. You will choose an occupation, a place, and a desire to write about.
(Everyone writes for fifteen minutes.)
Instructor-- All right. What did you come up with?
Student 1-- Mine was a tax collector going to Willy Wonka's factory, and he wants a giant gummy bear.
Student 2--Mine was about an artist wanting to go to Paris to draw the Eiffel Tower.
Scene 5
Instructor-- Okay, we will do response groups and author's chair now.
Class-- Yay!
