Story Factory

Monkey Biz

Stage 2

One-off workshop (2 hours)

Are your students interested in writing stories, but still stuck in the ‘and then’ phase? In this fun, interactive workshop, students investigate the emotional life of a monkey, and learn simple steps to write about characters personalities, feelings and character traits, learning all about the art of characterisation.
