We are extremely lucky this year, because of the hard work of our stellar PAC Exec Robyn Wong, to be able to bring to the school a school wide writing workshop.  Every grade, from K to 7, will have at least one session with Lee Födi.  For a typical visit, he delivers a hybrid “presentation-workshop,” which inspires and invigorates students of all reading and writing levels. Using highly visual slide shows, he demonstrates how he finds inspiration for his books through drawing, map-making, prop-building, travel, and research. This is followed by an interactive brainstorming session, so that each participant leaves with a visual output—and a broader understanding of concepts such as character, plot, setting, point of view, imagery, and style. Workshops are typically 50 to 75 minutes long (depending on the age group). He customizes his style, content, and approach to fit the size and age range of the audience.
