Because story writing uses three basic parts, I will break apart the story they will write. Part 1: Epic Beginnings -- learn to start a story that catches the reader's interest from the get-go. Go beyond "once upon a time" to pull the reader into your tale right away. Learn to use description for the setting to show — rather than just tell — the reader where and when everything is happening. Part 2: Oh, the Drama -- learn the vehicles used to push along the story in fun and interesting ways. Thinking through the chosen story genre, students will include details of what happens to the characters and flesh out the main idea of the story. Dialogue is encouraged and will be explained, if needed. Adding drama and/or suspense are good elements of any story and capture the reader's mind, making them want to keep reading to know what happens next. Part 3: In Conclusion -- learn to wrap up the story. How a story ends is of utmost importance. Readers want the satisfaction in knowing all is okay, and the characters will live "happily ever after."Evaluación
Students will have time to complete the sections of their stories; however, they may choose to revise and add more details outside of the tutoring time. This is optional and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Additional tutoring sessions can be requested to help with learning the basics of editing their stoExperiencia de clase

This tutoring session will be set up as a working session similar to my three-day workshop. Students will bring their own pencils, pens, paper, crayons, and imaginations to write and draw something creative. Students need to have a basic proficiency in writing or a parent/guardian available to assist. I will help the students understand the basic elements of a story -- a catchy beginning, dramatic/eventful middle, and satisfying ending -- through my rabbit Finn’s story. Then they’ll learn how to use them in their own stories. Artwork can be included, if the student desires. The students will have time during the session to complete each part of their writings and drawings, and we will use the few minutes of the session for them to share their work, if they'd like.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I am a person who can't not write. I have been writing for fun for over 40 years and enjoy sharing my love of writing with those around me. (My kids learned at home, and we've had weekly writing times at our local coffee shop for over 15 years.) I have a bachelor's degree in English/Journalism and have written professionally for the past 25 years.
