Workshop: FICTION WRITING: “Is My Story Viable?”

In this workshop, students will explore questions about story structure, discuss what elements make a good story, and use SHOOCK, a prewriting strategy that works, to organize their story idea! By the end of the workshop, students will leave with a well defined “elevator pitch” for a story idea they can develop on their own.
