Assessment
Students are keenly aware of their peer's reactions to their work. They know when everyone is listening breathlessly. They know when everyone is excited about their writing. Positive reinforcement for strong writing from the group encourages students to write at a more challenging level.

Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
What if there was a world with clashing rings? Or a dark moon few dare to visit?  
Pick a part of the world that’s all your own and people it with a made-up society.  
Do monsters roam your land? Space ships? Or is it a time portal to somewhere else?

In every workshop class we start with imaginative brainstorming exercises.  Students then write fiction or poetry for twenty-five minutes.  Afterwards, anyone can volunteer to read her writing out loud. Everyone in the workshop will say what they like about the story and/or recall details they remember about the writing.  There's no homework--just fun, as students improve their ability to plan out longer writing, gather together ideas, and use strong motivation to improve their writing and narrative skills. 

Take the next course in this series: City of Doom

Learning Goals

world building
character descriptions
action arcs
collaborative team writing
Skills used:
focussing on a task for 20 minutes
reading out loud
listening
giving constructive feedback and praise

Other Details

Supply List
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.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
This workshop is great for kids who can write easily, but need a creative challenge to fuel their writing. New characters, new creatures, new adventures--your child won't want to stop even after writing time is over.  The collaborative world building element creates a bond between students they won't soon forget.
