In this short workshop for young writers, I will be going over a bunch of tips and tricks as to how to create a character to use in stories. Often, students have big ideas for a character, but are discouraged from writing because it's hard to decide exactly how to make that character seem "real". This is a one-time class, so these tips can be revisited anytime. Mainly, students will learn some valuable tools as to how to develop a character that any reader would easily get attached to. I encourage anyone who is passionate about writing to attend!
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to build a compelling character and how to use the same strategies learned here for character-building in the future.

Hello! I'm excited to be sharing my knowledge with you on this platform! I'm a language and acting teacher whose primary passion as an educator is making the subject matter accessible and enjoyable. I've taught almost all ages over the course of my career, from kindergarteners to adults to senior citizens. For me, it's always fun and fulfilling to be able to share my knowledge with learners and watch that "click" in their minds when they have truly acquired a new skill or learned something new. To accomplish this, I make sure students feel heard, busy, and reassured. In my classes, students should expect to immediately put to use what we're learning and, in turn, get immediate feedback. I also love learning from my students, and also love hearing what they have to tell me, so my classes also involve a "flipped classroom" - that is, students will come to class prepared to tell me what they have learned from one class to the next.
I'm also quite a nerd. I'm a big fan of video games and novels, and I'm not afraid to be proud of that! I always welcome any student to also share their hobbies and interests in class - it can add to the experience!
