In this course we will use a set of dice to 'Roll-A-Story' about Roblox. 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.
Learning Goals
Learners will practice writing narrative texts with a predetermined character, setting, and problem. Learners will also practice flexible thinking when they switch stories.
