Storytelling Workshop

For the second part of mentorship today, the mentees got to learn about storytelling from Rebecca. She explained how showing more detail within your story can help to improve your readers’ experience. This also connects to editing and photos since this is a visual aspect which shows someone what the story was all about. The mentees wrote a short story of their own experiences then shared with a partner to exchange some advice. After this they got a chance to share with the whole group the creative stories they wrote!

Writing Workshop

Jessica led the Interns through a writing workshop about personal narratives. We learned about the power of our stories and how to craft them through different activities. In one of our activities, we all wrote a story based on our different ideas and sentences. We would all pass around a paper with a short sentence and try to make a story out of it. Thank you Jessica.

Thank so much Jessica Rivera, another one of our interns, for taking these pictures.
