Workshop: Me and My Place

This workshop encourages students to write about their world by examining the community they live in. Students will consider the techniques used by writers to convey ‘a sense of place’ and learn how to apply these to their own writing.

Topics covered:

• How can we use our own place and our own story to tell the stories that need to be told?
• How can a ‘sense of place’ drive our language choices, our plot and our style?
