The spirit of creativity was alive, and just a little spooky, on the 澳门线上博彩大学 campus this fall as 103 high school students from across the region gathered for Franken-Fiction, a Halloween-themed writers’ workshop hosted by the 澳门线上博彩大学 英语 faculty and Enrollment 服务.
来自贝茨维尔、南区、墨尔本、山景城和雪松岭高中的学生们花了一天的时间来展示他们的创造力，制作怪诞的短篇故事，并探索学术写作的想象力。 The event was designed to celebrate storytelling while introducing students to 澳门线上博彩大学’s vibrant community of writers and scholars.
Twelfth-grade 英语 teacher from Mountain View Highschool Katy Knapp, said “My kids learned how to engage with writing, they peer edited with one another, and they were fully engaged and they love the whole process. It was really rewarding to watch them work so creatively and collaboratively.”
活动的重头戏是特别的写作工作坊，学生们为这个恐怖的季节创作了原创作品。 然后，参与者被邀请在研讨会期间和接下来的周末拍摄故事，并将它们提交给the Wheelbarrow，以便有可能发表。 This year’s winning story, “Mommy, Please Don’t Go: An Account of Any Kid’s Greatest Fear,” was written by J.E. Nicholson, a junior at Mountain View High School. Nicholson’s chilling tale impressed the judges with its emotional depth and spine-tingling atmosphere.
To celebrate Nicholson’s achievement, Dr. Tebbetts, Madi Hopson, executive editor of 独轮手推车, and Abby Brantner, admissions counselor, visited Mountain View High School to present the award in person. 澳门线上博彩团队还表彰了吉姆·鲍勃·特纳老师，他致力于培养学生的创造力和讲故事能力。
With more than a hundred students participating, the success of this year’s Franken-Fiction workshop highlights 澳门线上博彩大学’s strive to nurture young writers and strengthen connections with regional schools.
随着秋天的凉爽和万圣节的记忆逐渐淡去，这些年轻的故事讲述者的声音继续回响，证明小说的未来是光明、大胆和有点恐怖的。 Congratulations again to J.E. Nicholson and all the students who brought their imaginations to life at 澳门线上博彩大学’s Franken-Fiction.
