Literary Series at the National Museum of Women in the Arts
12-minute video for middle/high school levels
This 12-minute overview of the museum’s award-winning Literary Series depicts the working relationship between writers and students. Writers discuss the writing process and sources of inspiration. Students speak directly about their experiences in being selected for the program, their writing, and the privilege of working with these extraordinary writers. The video gives a glimpse into the relationship between a young writer and her mentor and provides educators a model on which they can base creative writing workshops. A 53-page study guide, complete with writers’ biographies, study questions, and writing activities, accompanies the video.
