Event Description
Put on your sleuthing shoes, Swifties, because we're analyzing the layers and language of some of Taylor's biggest hits and fan favorites. After we play literary detective, we'll use one of Tay's songs to inspire our own writing. Hey, Cadettes! Try The Word Shop on for size with a session of one of our favorite classes, Swiftie Stories, which is about the figurative language and stories of one of the greatest wordsmiths of all time. We’ll listen to music, pick apart the lyrics like literary detectives, and then write a story or poem inspired by our favorite song(s). No need to be nervous — everything’ll be all right if we can write with you. **Skills we’re secretly covering: literary analysis, making inferences, citing textual evidence, summarizing, analyzing the development of 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.*
