Join us at the intersection of literature and art! Participants will explore literary artistry, discovering how writers use language creatively, similar to visual artists, to evoke emotion and convey messages. Delve into the power of sketchnotes and how to integrate visual thinking into your curriculum to enhance your students’ writing process and unlock new creative pathways. We will explore practical techniques to guide students in blending written and visual storytelling, enhancing their creative process and deepening their engagement with texts. Led by author and illustrator Denise Gallagher, this hands-on session will equip you with practical tools to elevate your students’ storytelling through both words and images.
