Writing Workshop with Tyler Enfield

We had a great Writer's Workshop with Tyler Enfield last week. Mr. Enfield taught us the 2 things you need to create a story:




Structure and Creative Juices!






Mr. Enfield showed us the 5 parts that  make up the structure of stories. Every story has these 5 parts:


Characters are why we care! (characters)

Tyler showed us how to write a 5 sentence story using the 5 parts of stories. Here is our class 5 sentence story we wrote with him.



We were all very engaged in our writing!




Mr. Enfield also talked to us about some "anti rules" for writing  to help us boost our creativity. 


Tyler asked us how it felt to "break the rules" and write creatively. Random writing can be a great way to love writing. He reminded us that sometimes random writing can turn into something bigger or sometimes it ends up in recycle!  The important thing is to write and to LOVE IT!




Check out some of our 5 sentence stories we have been working on.

Cheers,
