Expand Your Imagination: Creative Writing About Middle Earth
Class experience
US Grade 4 - 7
Imagine a world where you are surrounded by mythical beings, creatures and mysteries. There are elves, dragons, hobbits and more. It's up to you to decide who you want to be and what adventure you are willing to take! In this one time class, learners ages 9-14 will be able to learn different creative writing skills to take their mythical characters and stories to the next level. I will provide students important tips to create believable characters and narratives to engage their audience...
Students will be able to improve their short-stories and novels based in Middle Earth. We will create unique and believable characters and think critically about how to make them different than popular stories in the media. We will discuss how to create an engaging beginning, stronger characters, an immersive world and exciting plot points.
Creative writing in this genre can contain themes that some may consider frightening or sensitive: blood, monsters, sickness, violence against creatures and others, characters may potentially handle weapons. I will encourage students to keep the stories appropriate for our classroom and will give writing prompts to guide them in the right direction. We will also be using Google docs' word processor feature in order to write our stories and share them with the class. I will need a link to the google doc form that your student will be using so that I can screen share it to the class. I can provide an external link where the student does NOT need their own Google docs account if your student does not have one. Otherwise, they may log in to their own Google docs account and create a new document to share with the class. If they are sharing their work in class, they will need to provide a public link to send in the classroom chat. I can assist with these instructions in our classroom on Outschool.
We may use google docs in order to type our stories in a shared space in class. I can provide blank, public worksheets for the students to use OR they may use their own google docs account to share the story with the class. Students may also simply read out loud or paste their story in the chat if they do not want to share a link.
