Class experience
US Grade 6 - 9
WHAT IS THIS CLASS? We write short stories. What's so weird about it? The main elements of your story are chosen completely at random, which is bound to create a pretty weird result, and turns this into more of a challenge rather than just another writing exercise. Some of my recent favorite ideas (from the weekly version of this class): *Character* Dwayne Johnson in a chicken suit 🪨 a painter who hates painting 👨🎨 *Setting* a class on how to write depressing poetry ✍️ a city designed by...
Students will practice the following skills: *lots of creativity! *brainstorming *timed writing (a skill used in many AP English courses) *story elements: character, setting, plot *gaining confidence sharing their work (optional!)
As a former middle and high school English teacher, I've taught many lessons on creative writing, and I've used this method of putting random elements together into one story with students. They always had a blast coming up with their stories. On Outschool, learners enjoy the writing club feel of a small group, my sense of humor (I think?), and the laid back atmosphere of my classes. And some of them end up staying for years. Literally. I've been teaching Weird Writing Weekly since 2020.
Note: this class gives you a chance to write something weird and wacky. That is its purpose. This class isn't meant as an intro to writing course. We aren't focusing on editing anything. We aren't discussing grammar or sentence structure. This is more about the ideas and the creative side to writing.
