Class experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Students will be able to improve their short-stories and novels based in a world where vampires are real.  We will create unique and believable vampires and think critically about how to make them different than vampires in the media.  We will discuss how to create an engaging beginning, stronger characters, an immersive world and exciting plot points.
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in creative writing and literature from Western Kentucky University.  I am experienced in hosting and participating in creative-writing workshops and studied under many well-known, published professors at my university whose expertise was in the "horror" and "fantasy" genre.  I also am a published writer on a popular horror and video game website.
Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
No homework will be assigned, but students can submit their work after class for teacher review and feedback. They may also come to class with an already written short story to strengthen during our lesson. This is completely optional.
Grades Offered
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.

If your learner would rather, they may simply write with a paper or pencil and read aloud/share photos of their work after class.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Vampiric writing 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.
