First St. Philomena's Workshop

Last Friday, 1/19/2007, I went to Karin Lord's writing class and helped kickoff her 6th graders project. We broke down the two classes of 25 students each into groups of five, where kids brainstormed about a fantasy setting, protagonists, antagonists, weapons and armor, and magical items. The kids had a ball! Their assignment for the next two weeks is to flesh out their ideas and them come up with three solid plot lines, which we'll go over at my next visit on 2/2/2007. Karin has also inquired about creating a hardcover book for the kids and we're hoping to get that information real soon.
