The best way to achieve this is for the student to share their work with the instructor in order for such an assessment to be made, or at least to receive feedback. I NEVER negatively critique a student's work, only offer them further questions that will assist them in adding to the depth of their fictional place. One helpful way for the instructor to make any assessment, is if the student participates or comments on the weekly quote. A student can do this by offering his/her thoughts on the conversation builder exercises. These will also prompt conversation between any additional students in the class, as well as with the instructor.보고계신 지문은 자동 번역 되었습니다

** Instructor's Note ** This course is primarily lecture-based. Students will learn how to make four decisions a writer or designer must make about the world they are creating for fiction or game use. Through group discussion and short exercise assignments, students will make these decisions based on their own "fictional" places. No prior knowledge is necessary. Imagination required! Each week's activity is one small assignment to illustrate the application of the topic discussed to elaborate on world details, which includes time for student questions. (e.g. Who governs the largest continent/populace in your world, or what terrain makes up the smallest continent?) Progress is evaluated with a "Suggested Activity" given at the end of each week to view and do independently, applying any writing projects the student is currently trying to grow/expand upon in his/her personal writings. The topic of the Live Session each week will implement and discuss the topics applied by the Suggested Activity given the prior week. 1. Calendar/World Origin/Myth (Activity takes this and applies it) 2. Conflict/Building a believable environment (Map Activity) 3. Government and Currency (Activity asks for 3 races/groups, and examples of each governing body and currency type or barter system used) 4. Heroes & Villains Live Session (Activity pertaining to Science/Magic, both integral to science fiction or fantasy worlds) *personal note* I felt including the 4th week's Suggested Activity would further help the students flesh out their worlds/stories, and I wholeheartedly believe that no story begins without strong characters and their adversaries. Therefore, I determined early in the curriculum for this course, that a Live Session for Week 4 must discuss Heroes and Villains. *Week 1: Time measurement and the fictional world's calendar, and asks the student to give a few words on his/her world's origin. *Week 2: This week's topic: "Conflict and creating plausibility within your fictional (or fantasy) world." Making your reader experience the "feel" of your world. Building a believable environment. *Week 3: This week will discuss Government and Economics. How are the different groups/races governed? By whom are they governed? Also, What type of currency or barter is used among your fictional world's peoples? - Give examples of 3. *Week 4: This week's Live Session discusses Heroes & Villains. The Suggested Activity for this week is entitled: "Science, Magic; both or neither?" -- The activity asks: Do Science and Magic compete, complement, or destroy one another within the student's fictional world? This class is geared toward ages 13 -18. Exceptions may be made at parent's request, but if your student is younger than the age range of this class, refunds will not be given once this course has commenced.
학습 목표
Students are encouraged to participate in the Weekly Quote and offer their thoughts and share their opinions with other students or the instructor, however this is offered as an icebreaker. (even if they disagree with the author's statement)
Students will be given a number of tools to use in the aid of their world building, and I will also share several articles on the writing process that I encourage them to read, but there is no assignment required for those.
Students will also learn the importance of research, and reading more deeply into subjects that are not their expertise, but are required knowledge to portray their fictional world as a plausible, full place, living and breathing on the page.
Students will learn what types of questions an author must ask, in order to build and grow a character from the beginning of their story until the character becomes something greater (or worse). This class does not simply focus on the building of a hero, but in how that character is defined by his or her path and the interactions the character has with their adversary along the way.

Conflict and Plausibility
This lecture explores how characters from your world interact with two factors:

It also asks the question:
"Does the world itself feel cohesive?"
It does this by asking the student to explain why things in the world exist within a particular time in history.

학부모 가이드
I usually recommend this course for students over 13. However, I do use plot examples from televised science fiction shows that possess some violence or relationship content, but I do not condone or tell the student that they should watch it without their parents' consent or approval. Some of the discussed content comes from shows that are not typically recommended for younger people, even though the decisions of what a child views on television should be parent-monitored for content. The science fiction show in question is rather graphic, and does possess elements that I would not allow my own 16 year-old daughter to view.
The show I am speaking of is "The Expanse." While it does have content that I recommend a parent discern for themselves if their child should be permitted to view it, I do draw on examples of how the writers utilized a difference of calendar and timekeeping between Mars and Earth, as well as the use of gravity and anchoring methods used in space by the people who lived in the Asteroid Belt.

I offer this class because I am currently working on the last of three novels of historical fiction, and have been an avid reader of Tolkein and a constant game enthusiast for AD&D, and numerous computer games of fantasy genre. I have written for my own worlds, and have acted as a gamemaster for AD&D and Palladium Fantasy RPG for over 20 years. 리뷰
