6가지 장르 기반 창작 쓰기 첫 문장 스토리 프롬프트

This class offers a fun opportunity for students to develop their creative writing skills. Each lesson, students will be given a first-sentence writing prompt as well as a genre. They should use this prompt as the first sentence in a story in that genre. Part of the fun of this creative writing class is that the genre and the sentence may not clearly match. This means that students may need to be creative to write their stories. I have a list of 100 first-sentence prompts that I have created, and I have randomly picked one to use each week. 

*Please note: While most of the first-sentence prompts are one sentence long, there are a few that are two sentences. Students may encounter these in the classroom.

This is set-up as a 6-week class, but students are welcome to progress at their own pace. Each lesson, I will discuss the genre for that lesson. If your student is unfamiliar with the genre, they may also want to do some research on their own. They can share their thoughts or concerns about the genre with me. While there are no upper or lower word limits, I would suggest that students stick to about 2,000 words if they would like me to comment on their stories (shorter stories are also acceptable). They are welcome to share their completed stories with me if they would me to comment on them. If there are specific things areas of their story that the student would like me to comment on, they can include that when posting their story for me to read. This may include grammar, whether it fits with the genre, or other concerns. 

As of right now, the genres are as follows:

*Lesson One: Historical Fiction
*Lesson Two: Mystery
*Lesson Three: Sci-Fi/Fantasy
*Lesson  Four: Sports
*Lesson Five: Coming-of-Age
*Lesson Six: Classroom Choice

Students are welcome to write the stories that they want. If they want me to comment on their stories, they must be "PG." This means the stories should have limited or no  swearing and no graphic violence or sexual content. When appropriate for the genre, students may include what I'll call "behind-the-scenes" violence. For example, if for the "mystery" genre the student decides to write a murder mystery, we will know that the person was murdered, but the writer should not include the graphic, gory details of the event. Students who decided to do this may want to research "cozy mysteries" if they are unfamiliar with the term. 

I will try to comment on all shared stories as soon as possible after the student has posted the story. If any student shares an excessively long story, I cannot guarantee that I will  be able to adequately comment on that story. As long as the story is no more than 2,000 words, I will provide feedback on what the student has written. Any students who do not want feedback can either choose to not share their stories, or they can let me know that they do not want my feedback.
