Five Short Stories! Six Week Class (Ages 10 and Under)
✏️ Taught by a published author! This class is perfect for the budding young storyteller who needs a little help clarifying their ideas and putting pen to paper. Join us to write five unique stories! ✏️
We'll discuss the elements and structure of a story, how to get the details from your brain onto the paper, and how to find and use exciting words to make your story POP.
Students will be encouraged to have fun and treat writing as a form of play. This is a great, gentle class to introduce younger students to the concept of creative writing-- or to remind reluctant writers that not all writing has to be academic in nature!
Each week for six weeks, students will participate in a lesson focused on different elements of writing. They'll then apply this knowledge as they work on a new short story each week!
✏️ Shape of the Class:
Five minutes: Welcome and introduction to the day's lesson
Ten minutes: Students are invited-- 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥-- to read aloud their favorite part of the story the finished over the previous week.
Twenty minutes: The teacher will teach this week's lesson.
Ten minutes: Students will spend ten minutes quietly writing on their new story!
Students will then finish their own stories outside of class time, so they're able to spend as much time as they like on them. These stories do not 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 to be turned in, but if they are sent to the teacher, we'll be able to provide written feedback!
Students will finish this class having completed five short stories, as well as the tools to write many more.
