#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
This is a fun workshop during which students discover exactly what a story is, and how to use this knowledge to quickly turn any idea (or prompt) into a plot. In just a few minutes, students will be able to plan their stories and ensure they always have a quality, satisfying ending. Several schools Michael has worked with have reported that this workshop has been particularly beneficial for students writing narratives in test situations like NAPLAN, however it's just as useful for professional authors planning their published stories.
