Read & Write Workshop: Ancient People of the Lake (Children, Ages 3rd-5th Grade) by Eileen Gose

This program is best suited for ages 3rd-5th grade, and children under 10 must be accompanied by a caregiver.  Registration required.

Local author Eileen Tannich Gose shares her "Read & Write" book: Ancient People of the Lake, inspired by a local archaeological site! Participants will learn to create a five sentence story using the book, and take home a copy for free!

Ancient People of the Lake is a Read & Write book based on archeological information from an ancient Early Holocene site inside Newberry Crater at Paulina Lake, Oregon. The Paulina Lake site was a temporary summer camp where foragers processed food and plants, as well as obsidian for tools. The Paulina Lake site is especially important because archaeologists uncovered remains of a 9,500 year-old dwelling, one of the oldest houses in the United States. Later, the remains of the Paulina Lake site were fairly well preserved by two feet of ash from the explosion of Mt. Mazama 7,500 years ago.

A Read & Write Book shows how to create a five sentence story. The five sentences alone make a complete story, including the character(s), setting, problem, and solution. Then, by adding a few more sentences under each introductory sentence, the story becomes more interesting, and a five sentence story can transform into a five paragraph story.
