Fantasy Fiction Creative Writing Camp: Gothic City
Class experience
US Grade 6 - 8
Students will revel in this class of mystery and uncertainty. Whether you pick a heroine who silently screams uncovering the hidden horror that lurks in a decaying tomb, or create werewolves, ghosts, and other ghouls who have their own City of Darkness--we'll all create a world full of gothic gloom together before writing our own individual suspenseful stories. The Process: Step 1: We will start by creating a map of our new world together so students can visualize the haunted setting...
As the class goes on students will get practice in: • Organizing their thoughts with pre-writing exercises • Reading their work out loud • Listening to their peers in an engaged and respectful way • Giving articulate, respectful, and helpful feedback to their peers • Developing focus and concentration on a task • Letting their creative ideas flourish • Exciting collaborative engagement with other students • Learning elements of short story structure
This workshop is for teens who find fun in a creative challenge. There's so much to write about--new characters, new creatures, new adventures--your teen won't want to stop even after writing time is over. The collaborative world building element of creating their own haunted world creates a bond between students that they won't forget.
Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Students are keenly aware of their peer's reactions to their work. They know when everyone is listening breathlessly. Holding other students in thrall encourages participants to write at a more challenging level. As they participate in the workshop they naturally want to read something other students will enjoy, so they begin pushing themselves to write better work using the tools presented by the instructor in exercises. By the end of the workshop, their writing has reached a more sophisticated and challenging level.Grades Offered
Students should have access to writing paper and pen for each workshop class. We want to put our inner critic away--it's too easy to erase words on the computer. Tip: have a folder on hand so you can put stories from the workshop together at the end of each day.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
We stay on the Addam's Family side of things -- creepy, spooky, and kookie, not much gore and violence.
