***This class is part of the Movie Bites Learning - Young Storytellers and Aspiring Moviemakers Series. These classes can be taken in any order and are designed to celebrate and encourage big imaginations. Very my full profile for details on other Movie Bites Learning classes.***

Children have an innate love of stories. Stories create magic and a sense of  wonder for the world.  Designed for aspiring moviemakers and film lovers, this one-time class, teaches students about idea development, story elements (character, setting, plot, conflict, resolution, theme) and movie marketing (titles and tag-lines).  Through brainstorming games, writing exercises and an art activity, students will increase their storytelling abilities and design a movie poster that captures their audience's attention.
