826michigan will host a three-week workshop, "Hemingway: A life in literature in Michigan," for students 14-18 that highlight three of the short stories in the Nick Adams Stories. Students will then write their own work inspired by Hemingway and these stories. Part of the learning experience will be discussion as well as a chance to experience outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, and camping. As a second part of the project, "The Adapted Nick Adams", Ann Arbor’s Community High School theater students will participate in a six-week workshop that includes in-depth analysis of several stories resulting in a series of student-written short plays adapted from Hemingway’s original text. Outcomes from both projects will be featured in May of 2008 at the Ann Arbor Book Festival.
