What's included

Group experience

OC stands for Original Character. An OC is often referring to a minor character in an existing canon whose role is being expanded by a fan-fiction writer or a completely new character who exists in a published canon.

Wings of Fire and Warrior Cats are some of the more common OC's that my students create. But, Dragons and Cats aren't the only characters we may wish to create storylines about! 

Since everyone has different skill sets to share, students will share and collaborate together.

It's fun turning our artwork and storylines into mini graphic novels too! Canva is a free resource, which students may use for this. Google Docs is a great way for us to share our writing and add to the stories.

Outschool Groups do not have set class times. It's a workspace with Teacher moderation.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
2 popular original creation themes are based on "Wings of Fire" and "Warrior Cats", which both have violence and trauma. Although these are both children's book series' about Dragons and Cats, there is a fair amount of violence and death.
