English, Creative Writing #academic #creative I am a natural writer and I truly enjoy bringing new writers to the table to share in the conversation. I've also learned that sometimes the standard expository paragraph rules don't fire every kid and creativity and imagination can be a better place to start. It is from this base I created this Adventure Writing Camp to start them writing, whatever grade they are in. In this 4 day camp, your student will learn story-organizing skills and will write their very own story, start to finish. Our themes for each day are as follows: Day 1 World-Building Day 2 Character-Building Day 3 Story Arc Day 4 Finalizing the Story.
Learning Goals
In this four-day camp, your student will create a short story as we work through several organizational and creative processes.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Stacey Hamlin, and I love to teach.
I believe that we can learn anything and everything…with a few tools, and the ability to lay down our fears and try.
As a kid, I moved a lot. By the time I was 14 years old, I’d been to or through 42 states. I understand that “displacement” that people feel right now…that “loss of connection.” I believe that I homeschooled my own kids for 16 years to help alleviate that disconnectedness for them.
When my dad finally changed careers, he got “us” into Technology, and convinced me that I could teach. At 17 years old, I taught a group of men my father’s age how to use an Accounting Software that my father had programmed. It was terrifying…right up until I discovered that he had been right.
Nowadays, I teach a lot of things; English, Drama, Math…but behind every lesson is the desire to help people connect and overcome their fears. Life is hard. It’s hard when you are big, and in some ways, it’s even harder when you are small and other people make your decisions for you. It becomes easier when you realize that you are not alone…and that you really can do things that you didn’t realize that you could do.
This is a brand new school year with no mistakes in it. Let's see what amazing things we can accomplish, together.
See you in class,
Ms. Stacey
