Read, Write, Explore (Ages 9 and 10) – December 2022

October 31, 2022 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THIS PROGRAMME.
The next one will begin in February 2023, and I will open for registrations in the first week of January.

‘Read, Write, Explore’ is an ongoing programme for ages nine and ten, which combines the concept of a book club with an introduction to creative writing. During the 12 online interactions, we read excerpts from three books and do activities that link reading to writing, vocabulary and life skills. Every two weeks, one class is devoted to creative writing.

During the December 2022-January 2023 edition, we will be reading Misfit Madhu (Divya Anand), Crenshaw (Katherine Applegate) and an anthology, Flipped – Mystery Stories and Sci-Fi Stories.

Do note that classes are held on Zoom and that there are only nine seats per batch!
