Embark on a captivating journey with “Capturing Life: Writing a Personal Narrative,” a unique writing class designed for grades 5-8 students. This class invites young writers to delve into the art of personal narrative writing, exploring the richness of their own experiences, thoughts, and emotions.

They will navigate the elements of plot structure, character development, and the power of “show, not tell,” culminating in the creation of their own personal narratives. This class not only enhances writing skills but also fosters self-expression and reflection, making it an enriching experience for all participants.
