Ralph Doumit - Writing Workshop - Book Fair 2024 1st day

The writing workshop will focus on the first chapter of Pauline et Marco, which begins with, "What I've always wanted is to be an alien." The children will be invited to write a text following the same format, "What I've always wanted is to be...," with guidance on how to effectively characterize their main character.
