Children have an innate love of stories. Stories create magic and a sense of  wonder for the world.  Designed for aspiring moviemakers and film lovers, this one-time class, teaches students about idea development, story elements (character, setting, plot, conflict, resolution, theme) and movie marketing (titles and tag-lines).  Through brainstorming games, writing exercises and an art activity, students will increase their storytelling abilities and design a movie poster that captures their audience's attention.
