Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 7
This class will evaluate the purpose of a villain within a strong story, and they will learn to develop the villain's role within a plot. We will expand further as students learn to create back stories, redeeming qualities, and realistic endings for their characters. The students will follow along through slides and open discussions. They will also be given time to create their own characters and talk about them with the group. Students are not required to share, but discussion is always encouraged!
