In this course, Isabelle King will teach you how to create a Tudor inspired story to be performed in front of Queen Elizabeth and her dog. At the end of the workshop you will have created a character, setting, poem, title and start of your own amazing story. You can keep writing your story in your own time after the workshop. You will also have uncovered the name of the Queen’s dog and received a poster to design as a front cover from your story.

You can optionally register an account to save your progress through this and our other courses. We're aware that parents are being asked to sign up to a lot of websites at the moment, so if you'd rather dive straight in, simply click 'preview' on the first chapter below.
