Do you like campfire stories? Horror stories, urban legends or Creepy Pastas? Learners will delve into the structure of developing a scary short story though an interactive presentation with discussion of what actually scares each of us. We will learn the techniques of imagining a story and writing a creative writing piece from the opening line right until the very climax. Students will have a period of time to write their story and interact, ask questions and advice from a published horror writer. Learners will be encouraged to share their story at the end of class and see if they can scare us!

I approach teaching as a creative endeavour and I instill creativity in all of my classes. The more we can expand on being creative, the easier it is to approach different learning opportunities, career choices and even life choices.Reviews
