Fantastic Flash Fiction Multi-Day Class

I'm an experienced writing teacher (27 years) with an B.A. in English from U.C. Berkeley. I love teaching writing, and hope that my students will learn to enjoy writing too!

 In this 8-week class, students will learn what flash fiction is, and how it is different from regular fiction. 

Week 1: Realistic Fiction, also, how to write a good lead or hook, and how to create conflict. 
Week 2: Science Fiction, plus how to write titles and also add setting to your story. 
Week 3: Adventure/Action Fiction, plus how to write dialogue. 
Week 4: Historical Fiction, plus how to do research for your writing. 
Week 5: Fantasy Fiction, plus how to use paragraphing in your stories. 
Week 6: Realistic Fiction part 2, plus how to create characters. 
Week 7: Dystopian Fiction, plus how to create different kinds of endings
Week 8: Fan Fiction, plus some spelling tips. 

We will read flash fiction examples in the class, and the students will have time to write as well. If kids want to share their stories, they are encouraged, but it is not required. 

Learners will also be taught things like grammar, punctuation, dialogue writing, organization, and how to create titles in their stories. Since the class is small, I can look at the individual work and see where the kids need a little extra help. Kids may either type or handwrite their stories. Students can be of any level. There is no experience required. 

I teach in a fun and relaxed environment, where kids can have fun and learn to enjoy writing. I hope you will join us in this fun flash fiction class!
