This class will teach the students to create characters and build stories around them. When we work with characters, we trigger our imagination to create stories, worlds, and other characters. In many ways, this process works the same way as when children play freely and use their imagination. The difference is that we will write it all down. I encourage each student to write with their own style and voice. This doesn't mean that we can't get better. Writing is just like a muscle. The more we do it, the better we get. At the end of this class, my goal is that each student will have started to write a story that could be developed into a short story or even a novel. Lesson 1 will introduce the class and each other. We will do a short writing prompt, talk about the characters, and get to know each other a little in a relaxed way. During lesson 2, everyone will introduce their characters, and we will talk about how we can use how characters look to show who they are. Lesson 3 will cover what influences a character’s actions, behavior, and decisions. Lesson 4 is about outlining or planning our writing. Lesson 5 is about how we can use our memories to add details to our writing and dramatic events and how to use these in our stories. Lesson 6 is about foreshadowing, our characters’ dreams, and how we utilize these in our writing. Lessons 7 and 8 will include information about publishing, book covers, and marketing for writers. There will be writing homework three times throughout the class. . Bring a pen/pencil and paper to class if you write by hand.

教師專業知識和證書
My teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in personal experience. Growing up with dysgraphia, I encountered teachers who left me feeling uncomfortable, insecure, and inadequate. Those experiences shaped my commitment to creating an environment where every student feels welcome, confident, and supported. My goal is to build students up, ensuring they leave my classes with both knowledge and self-assurance.
As a teacher, I bring a wide array of subjects to life in my classes, ranging from creative writing and Swedish (my native language) to world religions, the Holocaust, and novel studies with a focus on folklore. Each subject reflects my passions and areas of expertise, offering students a rich and dynamic learning experience.
With a master’s degree in education and a double major in social and political science and world religions, my professional background equips me to guide students through diverse and complex topics. Having taught across various age groups in Sweden and now the USA, I also incorporate the principles of student democracy, encouraging students to take an active role in shaping their own learning journey.
On a personal note, I’ve always had a vivid imagination—perhaps a result of my Nordic upbringing. As a child in Sweden, I was fascinated yet terrified by the stories of fairies that pervade our folklore. Now, as an immigrant in the USA, I weave that sense of wonder into my own creative works, which have earned me awards for poetry and short stories.
