This is an online class geared towards learners who love fantasy and the holidays. In every workshop class we'll start with an exercise or a holiday inspiration, then move on to brainstorming exercises that will help kids dive into writing. After brainstorming, students will write fiction for twenty minutes. At the end of class, students will read their writing out loud if they want to. Everyone in the workshop will say what they like about the story and/or recall details they remember...
Students practice many skills in one simple format: • Organizing their thoughts with pre-writing exercises • Reading their work out loud • Listening to their peers in an engaged and respectful way • Giving articulate, respectful, and helpful feedback to their peers • Developing focus and concentration on a task • Letting their creative ideas flourish • Exciting collaborative engagement with other students • Learning elements of novel plot structure
I've taught writing workshops for children and teens since 1992. This type of workshop format is tried and true. It allows students a bit of guidance, if they need it, but gives them a maximal creative freedom--the perfect blend for imaginative kids. I consistently see student's writing improve over the course of the workshop, as well as their ability to focus. In this workshop learners are motivated with all the freedom they have to work and create exciting stories. When writing time is fun time--as it is in this class--grammar problems shake out of sentences until the learner is writing fluid paragraphs they can read with confidence to others.
Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Students are keenly aware of their peer's reactions to their work. They know when everyone is listening breathlessly. They know when everyone is excited about their writing. This kind of positive reinforcement of strong writing will encourage students to write at a more challenging level.Grades Offered
Students should have access to writing paper and pen for each workshop class. We want to put our inner critic away--it's too easy to erase words on the computer. Tip: have a folder on hand so you can put stories from the workshop together at the end of each day.
Some of the stories used in exercises are old fairy tales which can sometimes be a bit gruesome. I will warn students ahead of time.
