創作活動による短編小説の執筆と読解

Unlock your creativity and become a storyteller in this engaging, self-paced short story writing course designed for middle school students! Whether you're an emerging writer or a neurodivergent learner who thrives in flexible environments, this class provides the structure and support you need to develop your own original short story.  

This course is divided into five sections, each guiding students step by step through the writing process. Multiple video recordings accompany each section, providing clear explanations and examples to help students build confidence in their writing skills. Students will also analyze a model short story, answering reading comprehension questions to deepen their understanding of narrative techniques.  

Aligned with key English Language Arts (ELA) standards, this course helps students:  
- Develop a strong narrative structure with a clear beginning, middle, and end (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.6-8.3).  
- Use descriptive details and dialogue to bring characters and settings to life (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.6-8.3.B).  
- Revise and edit their writing for clarity and coherence (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.6-8.5).  
- Strengthen reading comprehension by analyzing a mentor text (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6-8.1-3).  

Students have the freedom to complete assignments at their own pace, making this an ideal course for independent learners who enjoy working without pressure. By the end of the course, each student will have a solid short story draft that showcases their unique voice and creativity.  

Join me, Ms. Cartier, on this exciting writing adventure and take the first step to becoming a great storyteller!
