The Knows for News
For a workshop geared specifically toward non-fiction, we have The Knows for News. This workshop covers the five W's, how to structure news and / or feature stories, interviewing and deadlines.
Kathryn's experience as a writer for newspapers and feature writer for magazines gives flexibility to our possible approaches to nonfiction. Whether you choose straight news or features, or whether you want to put a publication together from your class's effort, is up to you.
After explaining the different elements that go into writing, 'Ski will help your students come up with articles to write and guide them through the writing process. We may pretend to be different characters for interviews or send them off to cover school personalities or events. After the writing and sharing portions of the workshop, Kathryn will discuss what newspapers and magazines look for in work they publish. This workshop also includes Kathryn's Six Tips on Writing.
The Knows for News works best with students second grade level and up so the mechanics of writing don't pose too many barriers. We need a minimum of 45 minutes, but this works better with two class periods.
