In this course, students will learn how to compile their creative ideas into organized writing that draws the reader in and keeps them interested throughout the story. The students will learn how to separate their main ideas into organized aspects of a story. During the first class, we will explore ways to use adjectives to make our stories come alive! We will talk heavily about creating a strong beginning for a story. The students will learn how to develop a beginning that:
- Provides a setting
- Introduces characters
- Introduces the problem of the story

In class 2, the students will learn how to write a strong middle to a story that:
- Walks the reader through how the character(s) plan to solve the problem
- The struggles that the character(s) run into when trying to solve the problem
- Leading readers to the climax of the story.

In class 3, the students will construct a strong ending to their stories that:
- Gives a final solution to the story problem
- Ties the story together
- Gives the reader a sense of finality in the story.

The students will also work on editing their stories to prepare them for presentation.

In the final class, the students will present their stories to the class. I will use an assessment form to assess the students' stories. I will provide and go over the rubric with the students during each class so that they know what to expect and they will be required to send their finished stories to me between the third and fourth class so that I can thoroughly assess their stories.
