In this four-week FLEX class, students will learn about creative writing using various classic Robert Munch Stories.  

Each week, I will begin our lesson with three different videos:
1. Introduction to a specific writing concept
2. Reading of a story Robert Munch story
3. Explanation of assigned weekly activity
 
Robert Munch stories will be used to enhance the specific anatomy of creative story writing being discussed for the week.  Students will learn how a Robert Munch book is actually made and pertinent writing terms such as: author, editor, illustrator, protagonist, conflict.  

Students will learn pertinent brainstorming techniques that will be used to write their own short story.  Over the four weeks, students will build each part of their short story including: character(s), a setting, a problem and a solution. 

Each week, students will be assigned a different part of their own story to write and submit and I will review and make comments on their work.  Each edited section will be used to build a completed, polished copy of their own story.  For their final challenge, students will be encouraged to provide a video recording of themselves reading their (polished) short story. 

Weekly Break Down:
Week 1: Who, What, Where, When, How of writing
Week 2: All about introductions
Week 3: All about Conflict
Week 4: All about the solution/Conclusion
