In this five week class, students will create their own tribe based on their favorite dragons, skills, and powers. Depending on the number enrolled, the students will share about their tribe every week or every other week. Students may decide to work with partners or small groups in a breakout room if they choose. No one will be left out or excluded. Students may bring a tribe that they have already created along with art work and stories if they so choose. Class time will be used for discussion, art, and sharing of their original tribes. This class is a creative style class where students can use their imaginations to create their very own tribes. This class will provide each learner with peers familiar with the topic to engage with about their creations. They will create their own dragons in regards to skills, physical features, and powers. There will not be set new skills every week to learn. This class will pick up where it leaves off the following week with the goal of having a completed fan tribe of their very own. This will include a story or stories, sketches and/or other types of art to present their dragons, and the opportunity to share their creation with others. We will discuss character development, and will be guided through writing a story using traditional literary elements for writing. This is not a writing class. It is a fun way for each learner to be able to express their stories they have created and strengthen them with art and new skills. Week 1: Introductions, discuss tribe ideas, write stories, work on creating the dragon characteristics associated with that tribe, and share their ideas. Week 2: Discuss tribe ideas, write stories, work on creating the dragon characteristics associated with that tribe, and share their ideas. Week 3: Discuss tribe ideas, write stories, work on creating the dragon characteristics associated with that tribe, and share their ideas. Week 4: Discuss tribe ideas, write stories, work on creating the dragon characteristics associated with that tribe, and share their final ideas.
