Craft your version of George’s Marvellous Medicine this March Holidays!
Honing one’s creative writing skills is arguably one of the hardest steps in the path to academic success. At Academia, we believe it’s important to build a good foundation. This is why we designed a writing and tableau workshop just for lower primary students.
Every good story is supported by well-developed characters. This 2-day workshop places an emphasis on fostering intrinsic characterisation skills, with a literary approach. Students will partake in guided activities designed to help them take a walk in the characters’ shoes, fostering a deeper understanding for the characters they use in their stories. They will learn practical ways of analysing and conveying characters’ emotions and thoughts to paper, while drawing inspiration from their daily encounters, all of which are comprehensively broken-down into methodological approaches in easily digestible bites.
A simple 2-day workshop with an introductory dive into the intricate scaffolding of character building, but an unbelievable leap into the world of story-telling that provides an advantage as they begin composition-writing in school. Join us for a marvellous 2 days of inspiration and fun.

ENA303 Singapore Literature: Why do we read?
As students enter secondary school, literature is often a daunting new task for them. Reading poetry or short stories and making sense of meaning is complex and multifaceted. This workshop aims to help students through this process by coming back to one core question — “Why do we read?”
Literature and the act of reading fiction allows one to understand the world, as fiction holds within it a space for the reader to reflect on the realities of life. In this workshop, we will be asking students to consider this question in relation to several works of Singapore Literature.
This module aims to facilitate a discovery of how writers are able to express deep meaning artfully and insightfully. By exploring these familiar and relatable texts and engaging with them on a personal level, students will emerge with a deeper understanding of the significance of appreciating literature, along with a renewed sense of purpose and meaning when interacting with literary texts in their schools.
Date and Time: Tuesday 14th March, 2 pm to 5 pm

ENA402: Reading Between The Lines: An In-depth look at Critical Literacy
In secondary school, the pursuit of critical literacy is often embodied in various tests and assignments, whether written or oral, requiring students to consciously evaluate and relate to both visual and auditory cues. This is no different in the study of the English Language and Literature, where a critical mind is essential to decoding ideas and meanings found within a text and thereafter responding appropriately to them. This workshop seeks to ease students through this process.
Students will examine both fiction and non-fiction texts and be challenged to critique them systematically by presenting coherent arguments. Through this process, the workshop aims to help students differentiate between passive and conscious understanding of content, equip them with the technical knowledge required to perform critical thought and response by demonstrating the practical ways to do so. This builds towards a deeper appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of critical literacy skills by illustrating how they apply in different contexts, skills which are essential in the Integrated Programme and eventually, the General Paper.
Date and Time: Thursday 16th March, 2 pm to 4 pm
Mode: On-Campus
