Writing My Story

In this class, students ages 9 to 12 will have the chance to write and illustrate their very own children’s book. Students will read a few different styles of children’s books and then write their own, inspired by stories from their lives, and things they would have wanted to be read to them when they were younger. The first several weeks will be about writing the stories, and the final two weeks will be turning the stories into books with illustrations. A final special Saturday class will occur on Dec. 17 where students can invite friends and family of all ages to a story hour where they will share their stories out loud. Cost $210. Scholarships available. Tuesdays from 3:45 – 4:45 p.m. Nov. 8 – Dec. 13 at FAME Center Chicago, 1550 S. State St., #116. https://go.asapconnected.com/?org=5501#CourseID=275308
