Class experience
US Grade 3 - 5
In this course we will use your favorite video games as a way to hone our creative writing skills. We will get our 'creative juices' flowing by playing a writing game. We will then create a character and setting, and explore how we use that character to advance a plot and develop a theme. I will teach a 'mini-lesson' and then allow learners to practice that skill in the class. Meetings will follow this order, however, this is subject to change as the learners' needs dictate. Meeting 1-...
This class is taught in English.
Students will learn pre-writing skills such as character development, story organization, setting, theme, and plot development. They will learn how to hook the reader, focus and elaborate on elements that advance the story, and conclude in a way that satisfies the reader.

This class relies on video games, and some video games do include weapons, war, and other sensitive topics. Incorporating these elements into a story to advance the plot is something I will accept, however I will not allow using these elements just for the sake of using them. I will also ask students who incorporate sensitive elements to give a content warning before sharing, or ask that they only share with me. Any content that is concerning will be passed on to the adult who enrolled the learner.
