Illustrated Stories: Creative Writing

In this workshop for teachers from all branches, we explore creative writing techniques that will motivate students, help them gain new perspectives and encourage creative thinking. In the workshop, we learn more about the artworks in the exhibition and engage in creative writing inspired by comic books. We also seek answers to the questions of “Why is creative writing important?”, “Is it possible to teach creative writing?” and “How can we use it in a classroom environment?". Then, we try out various creative writing activities. At the end of the workshop, we discuss activity ideas that participants can take to their own classrooms.
