In this ongoing class, young writers will learn to begin forming sentences by thinking creatively about different pictures they see. Students will first have a brief lesson on sentence and story structure in each class. This will be kept brief, so students can spend more time writing their sentences. This is an excellent class for learners who are interested in writing, need to learn more about story and sentence structure, like writing from prompts, and are willing to be creative with their stories. After a brief lesson (5-10 minutes), students will be given a picture prompt and time to write. Depending on the class size, the time to write may vary. I will allow as much time to write as possible with periodic check-ins to the students to help build sentences, stretch the story, and allow them to explore their imagination by talking it out with me and their peers. At the end of class, students will be encouraged to share their writing with their peers. I will not force anyone to share their writing, but I would encourage each child to be brave and work on their speaking and presenting skills. Note: this class does not focus on spelling or grammar. Help is given, but it is not the primary focus. If this is your hope please check out my Introduction to Creative Writing 8 week course or reach out to me for private tutoring. Picture Prompts for each week: August Month Picture Theme - Outside Topic / Picture Week of 6 Onomatopoeia / Nature Week of 13 Similes and Metaphors / Ocean Week of 20 Figurative Language / Forest Week of 27 Imagery / Creek September Month Picture Theme - Animals Topic / Picture Week of 3 Beginning / Cats Week of 10 Middle / Dogs Week of 17 Endings / Frogs Week of 24 Hero's Journey / Wild Animals
