In this one time fun filled creative writing class students will begin to explore the process of creating character within their writing. Each student will be given the task of creating and writing descriptively about their very own new skin for the game, complete with name, emote, backling, and unique new pickaxe. Students will begin by sketching, doodling and labelling, mind mapping, or bullet pointing ideas (depending on preference) about their creation and will then move on to writing a piece of descriptive writing about their character/Skin. Within their writing students will focus upon the use of powerful adjectives to describe a character. Students will learn to consider the importance of words in aiding the reader in being able to picture an image within their minds. The learners will also learn to try and select language for maximum impact upon the reader.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there,
I am Laura, a teacher living and working in England. I have been a teaching for 18 years and love working with children.
I initially did a BA honours in English literature and then took another year at university to train as an English teacher. I then worked in a number of different high schools and one middle school teaching English, Drama, and Media studies to students aged between 9 and 18. I also tutor students privately in my own home. I have a 12 year old son of my own and we especially enjoy working together on writing projects.
I am very excited to work with young people online and offer exciting and engaging lessons in my specialist subjects.
I am particularly enthused by teaching creative writing in all its forms and am a writer myself.
My lessons are lively and fun and activities are varied to allow for a variety of learning styles.
I look forward to meeting you all and hope to engage and inspire!
