Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
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!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Animal Lovers and Artists! 

I am a published author of five books including non-fiction, fiction and two children's books.

I am also an animal lover who has cared for and rehabilitated animals all of my life. Currently, I have over 6 animals residing on my property, and before you accuse me of being a cat hoarder - I only have two kittens!

I am Wild Animal Health Care Certified, a Wildlife Conservationist, and also Marine and Eco Tourism Certified. I told you I love animals!

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.
