Is your society violent or peaceful? High tech or primitive? A multi-week online workshop where we first create a world collaboratively, but then each student creates their own society and writes a new story about that society each week.
Class experience
US Grade 6 - 8
FOR STUDENTS: What if there was a world with clashing rings? Or a dark moon few dare to visit? We’ll create an unusual world that’s all our own and people it with a made-up societies. What do the people look like in the land you create? Do they have strange features? Will your society be high-tech or low tech? Peaceful or aggressive? Is your land full of cities or have strange deserts where monsters roam? In addition to creating our own world and writing stories about the people in it,...
Every week students practice:
• Organizing their thoughts with pre-writing exercises
• Writing for a sustained period.
• 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
• Annotating readings for greater comprehension
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 planet 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. 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.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.
