This is a great class for students who enjoy sinister stories and ghoulish topics. Every meeting's (dark) theme (and writing tips) are student/parent requested. My message box is open 24/7 for lesson requests, one-on-one writing feedback, one-on-one assistance with individual writing struggles, prompt requests, etc. 

Structure for each meeting: 

Opening Time:
- 'Flex' Time - This is where students can discuss their weekly writing and ask any questions they may have
 
Lesson Time: Time for some stories linked to our malevolent topics and helpful writing tips.

Writing Time:
This is the student's free time - They can write short stories, add to longer stories, fan fiction, flash fiction, micro fiction, novellas, poems, songs, scripts, artwork for stories, storyboarding, character building, etc. 

Share Time:
In-class sharing is optional.
