Chesterfield Arts provides the following description:
Chesterfield Arts is partnering with The Grannie Annie Family Story Celebration to bring a family story-writing workshop to the Chesterfield region. The mission of The Grannie Annie is to celebrate family stories, foster an interest in history, and nurture the writing skills of young people. This 3-day workshop supports students as they preserve a story from their family's history - a story that they learn by first interviewing a family storykeeper. Working with a writing instructor, students will write, revise, and polish their story, and then will share their story at a special celebration for family and friends. Participants will leave this workshop with two copies of their illustrated story, which they may submit to The Grannie Annie for possible publication in the annual Grannie Annie anthology.
Recommended for 4th - 8th Grade.
