TURNER — Turner Public Library is holding a writing workshop for homeschoolers ages 6 through 13, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, March 19 and April 16.
The two-part workshop will be presented by Anthony Shostak from Bates University using his Thousand Words Project, a new set of educational tools that use artwork to improve writing skills. With the Thousand Words Project, students learn how artists create and apply these strategies to their own writing. By following the lessons and activities, students learn to pay attention to what they see, reflect on it, express their ideas in writing and even propel these skills across subject areas into daily life.
The Thousand Words project encourages students to learn where their favorite author sits on the shelf, apply for a library card, and start more adventures through books! Homeschoolers are invited to join Turner Public Library, and other homeschooling families, in a fun exploration of their Thousand Words.
The workshop is free and open to the public, and all homeschoolers are welcome.
