What’s included
2 live meetings
2 in-class hoursClass Experience
Students will brainstorm and create their own quirk hero, quirk villain, or quirkless character based within the My Hero Academia series. Each student will have a character development sheet with questions to help guide them in the creation process. Students will be able to talk about different character traits (physical and internal) to help identify a character’s quirk, quirk limits, thoughts, feelings, actions, personality, and traits. Students will also work on creating background information for their character and discussing what builds their character into who the character is to be. This class will be structured with the worksheet and students discussing ideas to help each other to develop their characters. Disclaimer: I am not an artist and will not be teaching learners how to draw characters. This class is to help students recognize and create a well-written character when creating their own for story writing. Students who like to draw what their character looks like are welcome to, but I will not be teaching drawing techniques for characters.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to create their own unique character by the end of class.
Students will learn the types of questions they ask in creating a character.
Students will learn what makes a good character description verses a bad character description.
Other Details
Supply List
A worksheet handout on the first session will be provided by me. You do not need to print it out, but do need to follow along with the questions to develop your character.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
About Mrs. Rutan:
My name is Madelynn Rutan and I am a literary enthusiast, lover of cats, pianist, and travel buff. I have been to 14 countries throughout my life and hope to continue to travel even more. I love learning about different cultures, backgrounds, and people which I believe is very important in helping people understand each other. Most of all, I love English. Specifically, I love books, reading, and analyzing literature to expand one’s world and mind. I believe you can travel anywhere and learn anything through books and desire to share these experiences with your children. I mainly hold book discussions and book analysis for my classes through a Socratic seminar approach and mini-lessons. This allows more time for the students to learn from each other, talk about the book, and gain a love of reading with a guided expert. After all, what’s more fun about loving a new book than sharing it with others.
I have read throughout my life and could always be found in a library (including today as volunteer staff at a local library). When I am not teaching or reading, I enjoy watching various anime shows; playing video games such as Pokémon, Zelda, and Animal Crossing; sewing, cross-stitching, taking care of my pets and spending time with my husband.
Education:
My love for books led to my bachelor's degree in English language and literature studies from Brigham Young University-Idaho. My expertise includes literary analysis (specifically with British and American Literature) and helping learners read for understanding and enjoyment. I plan to continue my education Fall 2025 towards a master's in librarian science to become a librarian to help children find their own love for reading.
I also earned a minor in TESOL which included classes on curriculum development, teaching with technology, and teaching philosophy. I tutored for 2 years at my college tutoring center as an ESL, writing, reading strategies, and study skills tutor. I used to teach as an online ESL teacher for kids ages 3-12 before switching to my own ESL and ELA classes here on Outschool since 2020.
Teaching Philosophy:
I value the need for a student-focus classroom and encourage an uplifting atmosphere for my students. I always make sure my students are heard in class and are encouraged to speak their thoughts and ideas. Classes will have a recommended age and content warning of topics discussed or talked about to ensure appropriateness for students within the class. I encourage parents to reach out with questions for any class.
Missed Class/Refund Policies:

Minimum Enrollment Policy:
