LOL, and OMG surprises can be lots of fun!  Please bring your favorite dolls to class as inspiration for your story.  After each student has had the opportunity to share, we will then begin the process of unlocking the story ideas. I will assist the student to practice developing an outline. I will also provide visual images designed to prompt creative thinking. Together we will brainstorm and develop the characters, plot, and storyline. 

We will also talk about turning boring sentences into exciting ones using adjectives and strong verbs. This has been a favorite exercise for all my writing classes. Take a sentence like "She ran out the door." and turn it into "The tall blond girl angrily pushed the big steel door and stomped out the door. We will practice by taking some of the student's sentences from their outline and developing them into exciting sentences. 

Students will be encouraged to write the outline in class, some student may move into story development.  

This is a class about creativity, we will not focus on grammar or spelling.  It is all about letting the ideas flow!  Students will be encouraged to write first and then edit later.   

This will be a small class of no more than 6 learners to ensure engagement interaction and support.
