In this one-time course, young writers will learn the basics of creating and developing a plot based around a classic three-act structure. Class is structured around a discussion-based multimedia lecture. Students will explore creative writing and literature basics such as the plot-pyramid, elements of plot, and how to craft a story using these parameters. Additional topics covered will include the intellectual benefits of creative writing. At the end of class, students will be given an engaging writing prompt that correlates with the lesson.
