Collaborative Fiction Writing for Tweens
Class experience
US Grade 5 - 7
This is a class for tweens who love to write and want to work together with friends--new or old ones--to create a really cool narrative. Collaborative writing has many benefits. It encourages teamwork and helps students navigate group dynamics. It also creates social opportunities for kids who are looking for connections with others. Finally, collaborative writing allows students to combine their creative energies and come up with stories that are compelling and fun to write and to read....
Students will write collaboratively, work effectively in groups, and produce a fiction narrative. They will also get the chance to get feedback on their writing and give feedback to their peers in the class.
As an English professor for 10 years, I have had the privilege of helping students with their creative writing narratives. I have also facilitated countless collaborative groups, as I believe that the experience of writing collaboratively can be incredibly beneficial to everyone involved.
Homework Offered
Students will work in their groups on assignments throughout the week. The amount of time they spend on their homework will be up to them, but it is reasonable to expect 1-2 hours of time per week on their projects.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I am happy to provide an official assessment, such as a letter grade or written feedback, at the end of the course.Grades Offered
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will write their work in Google Docs. Instead of students needing to use their own accounts, I will create an editable document and share it with the participants so that they can edit, even without a Google account. (If they are logged into a Google account, the Doc will reflect which account they are using.) Parents and guardians will be able to see the doc as well, and will have full access to the doc's history, since it will be open to edit by all who have the link.
