In this course we will use a set of dice to 'Roll-A-Story' about Minecraft. A roll of the dice will determine character, setting, and problem. After the three rolls learners will be given a set amount of time to write that story, then we'll start over! I believe choice is vital in creating life-long writers. However, too much choice is overwhelming. This course strikes the perfect balancing with a fun topic of choice, and a hands-on way to determine the plot. Younger learners may elect to write comics instead of word-heavy narratives, and that is encouraged! This course focuses on the thinking work behind the writing, which is the same for comics and written works. Images from Canva

Minecraft contains cartoon violence. If students choose to incorporate those elements in a story I ask that they refrain from sharing that story aloud with the class.
