Don’t Stay Up So Late

morning. By far the most emotionally exhausting of our programs, the Storytelling & Bookmaking field trip walks students through every step in the building of a story, with some heckling from our grouchy inhouse editor, Dr. Blotch. Together, the students create characters, begin writing the plot, and build up to a climax. Then, the students individually resolve the story, illustrate their books, and finally receive printed and bound copies of the story to take with them.

Publications

Almost all of our programs are structured with an end product in mind: students will often produce a chapbook of their writing, or put on a performance of a script, or hold an art exhibit, or stage a public performance of some sort. With such end products as the goal, students write and create with more enthusiasm, and are able to leave with a physical record of what they’ve achieved, which they can show to their friends and families. Students take pride in their good work, and 826michigan honors that by professionally publishing at least two collections of student writing, as well as numerous chapbooks, every year to showcase the great young writers who spend time with us.
