Twelve-Week Workshops

Inside Scoop:

The Stories You Won’t Find in the Paper (Fiction)

The newspaper may claim to tell us everything we need to know, but surely there are vivid details that the average news report misses. We might read an article about a new restaurant on Broughton Street, but who are the people working in it? We might read a report about Savannah’s mayor, but what does the mayor think about while she’s falling asleep at night?

The workshop will begin with some fun exercises on the role of detail in storytelling: what do we choose to tell, and what do we leave out? Students will then collaborate on stories inspired by articles found in the newspaper – stories that might imagine a politician’s relationship with his pet iguana or a movie star’s friendship with her mail carrier. The result is a “Secret Newspaper,” a collection of the stories behind the news, that students will receive in a bound edition after the workshop ends.

Inside Scoop stretches imaginations and dares students to see beyond the surface of other people’s lives. It gives students a chance to rethink what it means to tell stories, and to consider how we really come to know another person. You’ll never take what you read for granted again!

Our twelve-week workshops are the heart of the StoryBoard Program. They allow students to expand on the skills and collaborative relationships that one-time workshops introduce.

Twelve-week workshops meet after school, once per week, for hour-long sessions. Over the course of these twelve weeks, students will have the opportunity to

- form close, lasting relationships with their peers;

- strengthen written and oral communication;

- develop strategies for listening and self-reflection;

- produce a collection of work that reflects the work of each individual’s imagination as well as communal interests and insights; and

- have  fun.

Our twelve-week workshops offer students a community apart from home and school: a community where imaginations can run wild and where individuals can grow strong with the help of  their peers.

We will begin offering these workshops to local schools in January. For more information, please contact our Education Director, Alex Borinsky.
