› Independent Writing or Self-Publishing Project

We have had the pleasure of working with a number of dedicated young authors on their independent writing projects and even supporting some to self-publish their books with Green Elephant Books. These writers work one-on-one with an ECP teacher who serves as their first reader and editor to guide them through the process of revising and editing their manuscripts. While the focus may be on refining and completing a particular project, the primary objective is to support aspiring authors to develop the skills, perspective and mindset for a lifelong writing journey.    

› Dear Diary Fan Fiction

Whether it's Ramona Quimby, Matilda or Harry Potter, there's no better way to explore our favourite characters than to step into their shoes and imagine their days and adventures that haven't yet been told. In this fan fiction creative writing workshop, students will write diaries from the perspective of a fictional character of their choice.

› The Trumpet: Creative Magazine Publishing

Students in these creative writing and magazine publishing workshops will be key contributors to ECP’s magazine, The Trumpet! Over the term, students will focus on four particular writing skills and write different text types, such as stories, newspaper articles and poems. They will revise and edit all of their pieces, but select their two favourites for publication in the magazine, which will be published in print! (For ages 6-11)

› Once Upon A Times

In this creative writing and journalism workshop, students learn to write like real journalists and publish a creative newspaper based on fairy tales and nursery rhymes! In this workshop, students write news articles, identify different angles, and learn how to write in an objective style. Besides news stories, students also examine other genres within a newspaper, such as advice columns, ads, horoscopes and sports news.
