This is a two part series. Students will participate in the first session by listening to readings, thinking about their own ideas, and formulating what they will write. For the second session, students will come prepared with their own writing, work on next exercise assigned by author Barri Bumgarner, and hopefully share their products with the group!

Education: Grade(s): 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Maximum Number of Participants
30
Columbia, Missouri author, Barri Bumgarner, inspires young writers to create stories brought about from personal fears, experiences, and real-life issues - "monsters". By opening the door to the imagination, Bumgarner offers insights to getting kids to write, revise, and share! Bumgarner also does a follow-up session, going through the full process of revision, explaining that a rough draft is indeed ALWAYS rough, and rather than TELLING the students that, they’ll see it first-hand for themselves. During this two-part session, Bumgarner will discuss how she wrote her own novels, what inspired her ideas, and how students can follow the same path.

In the first session, Ms. Bumgarner introduces herself and gives a brief biographical background including how she came to be a writer. Then, she begins the writing activity which will be interactive from the very beginning. The students listen to stories that will inspire topics, do some brainstorming of their own, then begin their OWN stories. For part two of the session, students will come prepared with their rough drafts from session one, will complete another activity, then go through some revision and sharing exercises!
