Greetings writers! Develop your writing skills with one of your favorite graphic novel characters, Dogman! In this three-part class, you will create your own original short story based upon your favorite Dogman characters! Is there a favorite comic or character you would like to create a story around? Is there a character you love but you want to know more about them? Make your own short story based upon these characters and ideas to extend the Dogman Universe! How would you like the story to unfold? You have the power, if not take your brain dots and you will!
Week one: Decide the characters in your story. Dive into their characteristics and catch phrases. Create a specific beginning middle and end of your story. Create an outline of your story including the exposition, conflict, climax and resolution! Send your outline to Teacher Tammy for feedback in between classes!
