Your school has been randomly selected from the list of schools that visited Qatar National Library during the 2018-2019 academic year. Your school has the chance to register one group of students for a workshop by author, illustrator and performance poet Chris White. This workshop is designed for students in grades 4 and 5 only.

The workshop kicks off by finding something to write about. A character is created using the ideas of all participants. The stranger the idea the better! Step-by-step the drawing is created and, before you know it…TADAAA! You have a brand-new character in front of you using the power of pencil, paper and imagination. 

The next step is to write about it. Is it an animal? A person? An alien? Well, whatever it is, then it needs a poem written about it!

By the end of the workshop, all participants will have an illustrated poem to show for it, hopefully igniting the spark to write and draw their own creations.

It's fun, it's lively, it's interactive and it’s creative. There’s drawing, there’s writing, there’s discussion. It’s a feast of imaginative ideas wrapped up in a workshop. You may need to lie down afterward ...

Please register for one slot only below. If you register for more than one slot your registration may be canceled.
