This 45-minute class will meet 4 times total in four weeks to work on understanding what fanfiction creative writing is, the parts, process, and planning for writing, and completing a short piece of fan fiction.

-The first class will review fanfiction with a brief description and an example, then lead into brainstorming characters and their traits and exploring different trope possibilities. Homework will be to choose their characters and trope and list the character traits.

-The second class will facilitate planning the setting, P.O.V., plot, and conflict.  A fanfiction planning outline will be included and used in the process to help students understand how the outline is used and helpful. If time allows, students may begin to write. Homework will be to begin writing their fanfiction story.

-The third class will focus on sharing, brainstorming, dealing with writer's block if necessary, peer help/review, and editing. Revising and editing will be discussed heavily to help students understand their importance in the writing process. Students may actively write, revise, and edit in this class. Homework will be to continue writing, revising, and editing.

-The fourth class will be for final touches and turning it in to the teacher.  The students will be welcome to share their fanfiction stories with the class.

Students are welcome and encouraged to participate in class discussion-style learning and review sessions. They are prompted to ask questions and seek peer and teacher input.  

Extensive feedback will be offered between classes for all learners who submit their work to the teacher on the Outschool platform. 

By the end of the course, students will understand what fanfiction is, its parts, the process of writing it, the usefulness of brainstorming and outlining before writing, and the importance of revising and editing.
