Evaluación de dominio

1 hora por semana. Students are allowed to think about their stories and add to them at home during the week, then share them in class the next week.

Evaluación

Students are keenly aware of their peer's reactions to their work. They know when everyone is listening breathlessly. They know when everyone is excited about their writing. Positive reinforcement for strong writing from the group of peers encourages students to write at a more challenging level.

Students will revel in this class of creepy and kooky stories.  Whether you pick a heroine who silently screams uncovering the secrets in a decaying estate, or werewolves who are addicted to baseball, we'll all have fun together writing stories full of gloom and ghostly hauntings.  

FOR PARENTS: 
We will start by brainstorming a map of a haunted place together so students can visualize the creepy setting that will help them dive into writing.  

In every workshop class we start with brainstorming exercises, then students write fiction or poetry for twenty-five minutes.  

Afterwards, anyone can volunteer to read her writing out loud. 

Everyone in the workshop will say what they like about the story and/or recall details they remember about the writing. 

Classes Exercises:
1) A stranger comes to town
2) The discovery of important lore that drives a curse, or a blessing.
3) Something happens--contact is made with a paranormal creature. 
4) Reversals & Recognitions: someone or something is not what it seems!
5) Run for your lives---if you can! Your main character attempts to escape the setting, but circumstances make for life-and-death difficulties. 

The class is so much fun students won’t even realize they are learning to create sustained works of fiction at a more sophisticated level of thought, organization, and writing skill level than ever before.  Many kids have so much fun they are eager to keep writing even after the workshop is over.

Otros detalles

Necesidades de aprendizaje

Many students who have mild ADD or ADHD and who are on the mild end of the spectrum enjoy experiencing successful interactions with peers because of a stable weekly format that nevertheless affords creative freedom.

Orientación para padres

We stay on the happier side of Halloween. Stories are more gothic in nature than they are horrific. Though some students write horror, the workshop emphasis is on gothic suspense, secrets, and rich character/world building.

Requisitos previos

Students should not struggle writing sentences and be able to focus on a task for twenty minutes--or desire to focus for that length of time.

Lista de útiles escolares

Students should have access to writing paper and pen for each workshop class.  We want to put our inner critic away--it's too easy to erase words on the computer.   Tip: have a folder on hand so you can put stories from the workshop together at the end of each day.

Recursos externos

Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.

Perfil

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente

I've taught writing workshops for children and teens since 1992.  This type of workshop format is tried and true. I consistently see student's writing improve over the course of the workshop.  Kids who don't write well by hand, who don't spell--who struggle to read their own writing, much less read it out loud--are motivated with all the freedom they have to work and create exciting stories.  With fun writing time--and usually that's almost all it is: time spent writing + fun--problems shake out of sentences until the child is writing fluid paragraphs and can read their work to others with confidence.
