Outline Workshop for Grades 4–6 ✏️📚

Plan It. Build It. Write It.

The Barrington Council for the Gifted & Talented (BCGT) invites students in grades 4–6 to join us for the next event in our Writing Workshop Series: the Outline Workshop , in partnership with Ben Fiedor, PhD .

Great stories start with great ideas—but learning how to organize those ideas can make all the difference! In this hands-on workshop, students will learn how to create an outline, develop stronger characters and plots, and build the structure they need to turn their ideas into a powerful first draft.
