Two-hour of writing workshop for children on 3 key aspects of building a powerful story by Adithi

Stories are windows into different worlds. They are meant to create in the mind of the reader a real experience of something that is essentially not real. How does the writer build a setting, populate it with believable characters and hold them all together with a convincing plotline? 

Over two successive 1.5-hour long sessions, using materials that evoke memories, short film clips and bits of music, this writing workshop calls the participants to delve into the craft of telling a powerful story. 

Restricted to an age group of 13+ years
