Swiftie Stories (Summer 2025)
Happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way? Then join us for a Taylor-rific class about the figurative language and stories of one of the greatest wordsmiths of all time. We’ll listen to music and take a deep dive into the literal and hidden meanings of some of our favorite songs and learn a startling amount about literature, history, and pop culture along the way.
This is The Wordshop, so of course we’re going to write our own stories inspired by chart toppers and secret gems. There will also be a craft or two; Mrs. Kristin might be old, but she can still make the whole place shimmer.
**Skills we’re secretly covering: literary analysis, making inferences, citing textual evidence, summarizing, analyzing the development of a theme over the course of a text, determining figurative and connotative meanings of language, understanding meaning and tone, analyzing how authors create mood, writing creative fiction.
Open to rising 7th–10th grades
Dates: July 28–August 1, 1:30–3:00 p.m.
