Join me in creating original cat characters inspired by Erin Hunter's popular Warriors series. Students can choose from three cat templates (long hair adult, short hair adult, and kit) to design their character. Each template includes a whole body image, a beautifully detailed head shot, and a paw print, which students can color digitally or with crayons, colored pencils, or markers in any pattern to represent a wide range of cat markings and battle scars. Contact me in advance, and I can even help students customize the templates to create cats with missing eyes, ears, limbs, or tails. Along with the physical appearance of their cats, students will also develop a backstories for their characters. Will your cat be an apprentice, a warrior, a medicine cat, a deputy, or even a clan leader? Perhaps your cat walks the lonely path of a rogue or lives the soft life a kittypet. What is your cat's name and how did they receive it? Short prompts will encourage students to write about their original characters' origins, families, place within (or without) the clans, and more. Once your cat is complete, you have a unique new character to use in your original Warriors fiction or in roleplay online and with friends.
Learning Goals
Students will practice character development through art and prompted creative writing.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
I often jokingly refer to the Warriors series as "Game of Thrones for children," but it's not entirely off the mark. The Warriors books contain violence and character death. Original character backstories may also contain sad or violent elements. If your student is particularly sensitive to a specific topic, please let me know in advance and I will strive to create a safe environment for them.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
