In this week-long class designed for middle school students, we'll dive into the exciting world of short stories! Each day, students will read and discuss a new short story from funny to mysterious to thought-provoking. We'll explore what makes each story powerful through creative written responses, hands-on crafts, and interactive projects that bring the stories to life. By the end of the week, students will have built their own mini story collection, discovered new authors, and gained confidence in their reading and writing skills all while having fun connecting imagination with creativity.
