This course will guide participants through the process of writing a fable. Session 1 will introduce participants to the fable genre. We will also look at the types of characters that pop up in fables - typically (but not always) animals - that symbolise various qualities. Why is this? During the session, participants will choose a topic to base their own fable around and the characters that will feature in their fable. Homework (HW) will be to describe their characters in detail. Session 2 will look at dialogue and the way characters talk - how we can use language to convey character. The visual history of illustrating fables will be introduced in brief. Examples will be drawn from different fables - and the same fable told in different ways to show how setting and era can influence the way in which a character speaks - apart from personality traits. HW will be to write out the dialogue scenes and plan out approaches to illustration. Session 3 will look at the tradition of versifying fables. Examples of the tutor's own work in this area will be shared. Participants will work on producing a short verse to use to introduce and close their fable. HW will be to develop their fable further in poetry and prose and produce an illustrated version of their fable. Session 4 will bring participants' work together, in a final show and tell session.

Lista de útiles escolares
Participants will need a standard stationery kit (writing implements, ruler, paper, eraser), and drawing tools (drawing pens, coloured pens or paints, or supplies relating to any other form of artwork they wish to use to illustrate or create their fable, e.g. paper crafting, felt work, embroidery, paper sculpture, or animation). They will need access to a scanner or camera to submit digital scans or photos of work, and an over-ear gaming-type set of headphones with built-on microphone and a noise-cancelling feature is recommended for best audio quality for communication in classes. Please note that unless students have a very good reason not to have their video on during class, I expect students to be visible and participate actively in classes I teach. The digital classroom is a social space shaped by our intentions and our activity - and I encourage participants to actively build the kind of space they feel comfortable in, and to actively work on creating a space in which others can also feel comfortable being and acting in. Outschool does provide a 'verification' system for those who have good reasons not to participate visually, and I will respect and support that fully. Please consult https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/4063624-learner-verification for further information and contact 'verification@outschool.com' at least a week before the start of your first class to allow time for the verification process to be completed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
