Ready to see where your imagination can take you? In this interactive workshop, we're breaking the "rules" of traditional writing to explore the power of storytelling through different lenses.
Whether we are building scenes out of LEGOs, stepping through mysterious doorways, or crafting collaborative epics one sentence at a time, this session is all about creative problem-solving and finding your voice. No "perfect" grammar required—just a willingness to play, build, and connect with fellow students through the art of the narrative.
In this session, you will: - Connect with peers through shared creative challenges, - Develop adaptable storytelling skills applicable to any major, - Explore how visual and tactile prompts can jumpstart academic and personal writing, and - Most importantly, have fun through creativity.
NOTE: This session is also offered in a later Ed Session Block.
Is cereal soup? Does pineapple belong on pizza? Should everyone have the right to vote? Is freedom of expression absolute? Learn how to engage in these conversations and many more as you navigate your time at WOU. You decide, this or that. You debate, topics of your choosing. You participate, we have giveaways. Let's engage in this interactive session to help us all better navigate conversations productively.
NOTE: This session is also offered in a later Ed Session Block.
