New
Writing Workshop
Argh,
Mateys! Shiver me Timbers! There be a Brand-New Writing
Workshop!
Turn your mutinous crew into writers with
A Pirate’s Tale––an
innovative new writing workshop for students, teachers––
or even your run-of-the mill Pirate!
Set sail on a fun
filled Writing Adventure in this Pirate-themed workshop.
Ms. Maden, aka Captain Maden, (In pirate costume) will steer
participants through the uncharted waters of creative writing.
Shanghaied by the
Terror of the Seas himself––Blackbeard the pirate, everyone is
now part of a literary crew aboard the famous pirate flagship,
the Queen Anne’s Revenge. The new crew has direct orders to help
the legendary Blackbeard make his story,
A Pirate’s Tale, a
rousing success. Only problem is–-Blackbeard isn’t much of a
writer!
If Blackbeard’s new
crew fails at their task, they may face the famous pirate’s
wrath–– and a long walk on a short plank!
Will the literary crew Sink or Swim? Find out in this
fun-filled workshop––A Pirate’s
Tale!
