Beginner Level
The students who enroll will learn all the important parts of a story and how to write a compelling story full of vivid images and characters. Students do not need to have a background in writing, they should however want to write a story or novel for themselves. Homework will be assigned in assignments due at the end of each class on the weekly subject. Evaluations are done by weekly assignments and the final project for each student. Students will learn all the parts of a story and some examples in class and then they will take what they have learned and put it into their assignments. Week 1: Introduction, Parts of a story, and Assignment Week 2: Characters, why are they important? Assignment Week 3: Introduction and Setting- What makes a great setting? Assignment Week 4: Plot, conflict and resolutions. Assignment Week 5: Wrap-up of a story. Assignment Week 6: Final project- Your final story to be turned in. And we will go over writing tips and tricks for those students who will like to be writers in the real world. And of course you are welcome to share your work in class!
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to write a story in various assignments throughout the class described in the course description.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
We do talk about the reality of the writing world and how some topics can be written about in the real world. Such as abuse, addictions, etc. If you are uncomfortable with this, you may not want to enroll your younger child. I am trying to give honest views of writing to the kids as they are coming in.
Supply List
I will provide all information to the students, your student will only need a pen and pencil in my classes.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a avid writer and publisher. I have written many stories over the years and feel that I can shape a good story for readers. I am also a publisher of an online newsletter and write many articles for my subscribers as well. I make it my mission to talk about the real world of writing and how the writing world actually works to up and coming writers. My personal approach to teaching is to take each child and learn their teaching style and tailor their class schedule to them in my other classes. Reviews
