Description

Class Experience

Screenwriters are storytellers. Before writing a script and making a movie, they need a plan. This all starts with an outline, followed by writing a one-page treatment (or summary) of what your story will be about. 

In this class, learners will use a story mountain and Pixar's storytelling rules to create the structure of their movie. 

Icebreaker (5 min.)
Brainstorm (5 min teach, 10 min. pairs)
Story Mountain/Pixar Rules Demo (5 min. teach, 5 min. activity)
Scaffolded One-Page Story Writing...

Students will be able to structure a story by using a story mountain and Pixar's Storytelling Rules. 
Students will be able to summarize their stories by fitting them to one-page.

We will attempt to complete all writing in this class. Students will submit their writing for feedback and have the option to continue working on their story on their own or in any of my writing courses.

Learners will want to have a notebook of their writing nearby to help with idea generation.

Learners will be given feedback as students develop each part of their story. 
Grades will be given upon request.

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
