This creative writing workshop is for children aged 9 to 13 years old and it will be hosted by Dorcas Tang, a children’s book illustrator and author. EB Impact Ambassadors will also facilitate this workshop.
Envision a world where the waste that surrounds us can speak and make friends. Join Poly, a single-use plastic bottle, on her journey and discover who she encounters. If she lands into the sea, what will her fate be?
What to expect:
-
Crafting the protagonist: We will start by crafting the personality and appearance of the protagonist, Poly, together.
-
Brainstorming: Let’s use our imagination! Where might a plastic bottle travel to in Singapore? What sights might it see? Who might it meet (friendly or not-so-friendly)?
-
Building the plot: Work with one another to build a climax and ending, focusing on the plastic bottle’s emotions and experiences.
-
Sharing: Hear the stories of other groups and learn about the different journeys the plastic bottle can take in Singapore.
