𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻:
🏰 5 Minutes: Introductions, hellos, greetings

🏰 15 Minutes: Lesson/topic discussion
We'll discuss the prompt and goal for the week's writing, highlighting ways to really nail the voice, tone, and scare factor.

🏰 20 Minutes: Writing time.
Students will spend approximately twenty to thirty minutes creating their own short story or scene based on the prompt. Students may write their stories freehand or type them.

🏰 10 Minutes: Sharing/Read Aloud
At the end of class, students are invited-- but not required or pressured-- to share their favorite lines and/or post the full story in the Outschool classroom to share with their classmates. 


Example topics:

🧙‍♂️ Magical Realms: Create fantastical worlds filled with magic, mythical creatures, and epic quests, where the only limit is your imagination.


🚀 Futuristic Societies: Write about advanced civilizations and the technology that drives them, examining both the wonders and the dangers of future worlds.


🗡 Heroic Journeys: Follow the path of a hero as they undertake an epic quest, battling monsters, facing impossible odds, and discovering their true potential.


🛸 Alien Encounters: Imagine and write about first contact with alien species, exploring how these beings might differ from us—or resemble us in unexpected ways.


🔮 Alternate Realities: Explore parallel universes, time travel, or alternate histories, where reality bends and anything is possible.

 

Students are encouraged to unleash their creativity, and while the themes may involve conflict or challenges, the class maintains a focus on imaginative, thought-provoking stories rather than dark or violent content.

This class is a great opportunity "get the lead out" for students who are enthusiastic writers, and a place for reluctant writers to experiment in a low stakes, fun environment.
