Calling all budding journalists! One of the first steps in bringing a story to life is executing a compelling interview. This interactive workshop for middle school students will explore the art and craft of conducting interviews that will provide the foundation for an engaging article, blog post, podcast or social content. Methods and techniques covered will include crafting interview questions that yield colorful stories and detail, conversational tactics, note-taking, and record-keeping and we’ll learn what to do when time is short. We’ll also talk about ethical conundrums that can arise.About the Instructor

About the Workshop Series
At the Wren’s Nest, our mission is to cultivate the next generation of writers and readers by championing the power of using your voice to tell your story. This fall, we’re hosting five writing workshops for middle-grade writers (grades 6-8), each led by a professional local writer and focused on a unique topic, from writing basics to journalism to comics.
These in-person workshops are open to middle-grade students in Georgia. Spaces are limited, and admission will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. For each workshop, a $10 registration fee includes workshop attendance, museum admission, a notebook and writing utensil, and light refreshments.
This Scribes Youth Writing Workshop series is sponsored by Publix Super Markets Charities and made possible with support from the Homestead Foundation.
