WITS Writing Workshop for Kids-Theme: 1970s

Outstanding music and wonderful technological inventions were created during the 1970s! That is why we will touch on both topics in our workshop. Indeed, we will have a lot of fun discussing some of the most incredible artifacts from the period and learning about impactful musicians who changed the world. Students ages 6-11 are welcome to attend. Our facilitator, Ms. Dinorah, will provide two exciting writing prompts. Inspired by what they discover throughout the session, the young participants will construct their pieces! This live, 90-minute interactive workshop will be presented through Microsoft Teams, via https://bit.ly/3xht7Dd This program is part of our yearlong HCPL Centennial Celebration.
