This Avengers themed camp will cover all the essentials that go into writing a great story--how to select your main characters, figure out a setting, develop your plot, introduce a conflict, resolve your conflict and wrap things up. The stories we write will be based on Marvel's Avengers characters. If possible, we will draw on current events in the real world to create a compelling plot. We will begin each day with me reading a short Avenger story. Then we will focus on one aspect of story writing at a time, which will break down as follows: Day 1-- Creating an outline Day 2-- Opening paragraph: Introduce your main character and setting. Day 3-- Conflict: What is the problem? Who is the enemy? Day 4-- Resolution: How is the problem solved? How does the story end? Day 5-- Share stories and feedback After our meeting times, participants will write at least one paragraph a day and bring it to camp the next day. The goal is to have a story of at least 4-6 paragraphs by the end of the week.
Learning Goals
Students will know all of the components that go into writing a good story (main characters, setting, plot, conflict, resolution, etc.) and how to use those components to create an outline that they can then develop into a story. They will learn how to use things they are interested in (Avengers) and what is happening in the world around them to spark their imaginations and start writing.
