Draw Me a Story: Story Writing for Preschool
Class experience
Through the reading of engaging children's literature like "Willie Mouse Goes on a Journey to Find the Moon" and others, learners will be drawn into the story world while learning the elements of storytelling. As the story is read, learners will be asked questions to bring their attention to the CHARACTER, SETTING, GOAL, and MESSAGE. Then after a colorful and interactive Question & Answer slide presentation with picture prompts on all the elements of story, learners will "write" their own...
*Learners will learn to identify the elements of storytelling through who, what, where, when, and why questions. This will not only increase their storytelling ability, but reading comprehension as well. * Learners will use their creativity, brainstorm their own story, and draw the characters and setting. * Learner will tell their story to the class and learn more complex ways of speaking with connectors like "after, before, if, then, while, because." * Learners will tell their story to parents to write it down for a treasured keepsake.
I'm a published fiction and nonfiction author, former homeschool mom of four, and have taught and tutored all ages for close to 20 years. I developed these creative writing and storytelling techniques when I started teaching an elective writing course at my kids' school over 10 years ago. This curriculum has developed over time and can be adapted for children of all ages to be successful in storytelling. I'm the author of "Release the Novel in You" workbook: The go-to fiction book for teen authors and I teach advanced novel writing and story telling as well as other writing and elective classes on Outschool. What parents are saying: Gina is a phenomenal writing teacher! We have loved working with her. We have a range of ages and she is great at adapting to their ages and learning styles. She's very patient and good at helping them focus. My kids have learned so much and been stretched and challenged in the area of writing. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to advance in any area of writing! - Bethany mother of K, 1, 3, 4 tutored students.

I love seeing students get excited about writing, even reluctant writers. Ever since I was 8 years old, I've been journaling and writing poetry to express things I couldn't speak out loud or didn't know how to. My thoughts just came out better...
