Students will learn the elements that make up a good character. They will learn about main characters (protagonists) and their significance in a story. We will look at a few examples in literature, then students will discuss examples of their favorite protagonists. Student will practice creating their own new characters or adding depth to characters they have already created. This class encourages discussion. It is a fun way for students to gain a deeper understanding of the principles of story writing. Get $3 off my classes with coupon code MCELRSPRING3 until May 31, 2023.
