Students are keenly aware of their peer's reactions to their work. They know when everyone is listening breathlessly. As they participate in the workshop they naturally want to read something other students will enjoy, so they naturally begin pushing themselves to write better work using the tools presented by the instructor in exercises. By the end of the workshop, their writing has reached a more sophisticated and challenging level.

This class will involve creating a city that exists on another planet or in an alternative universe. Your learner will get to people their section of this remarkable city with interesting characters, monsters, unusual objects, and strange events.

The process: 
Step 1: Each week students will receive a writing exercise that relates to a popular trope in science fiction and fantasy.  
Step 2: When the 20 minute writing time is over, students will be given the option to read their work out loud to each other. 
Step 3: Since we're discussing first drafts and haven't had a chance to edit it yet, the whole class will only comment on what we like and remember about the writing. We may also ask questions to help clarify the action in our minds, or find out if the author knows what will happen next. 

This is the perfect class for students who have already taken a fiction writing course or are naturally strong writers--or both.  Students who relish D&D or role playing will love this class.

其他詳情

供應清單
Students should have access to writing paper and pen for each workshop class.  We want to put our inner critic away--it's too easy to erase words on the computer.   Tip: have a folder on hand so you can put stories from the workshop together at the end of each day.

Hello everybody! For twenty-five years I've taught children, teens, college students, and adults.  I believe nurturing, listening, and positively encouraging all learners to fulfill their creative and intellectual potential. I am always asking students to think for themselves. Providing learners with fascinating sessions is important to me. It's extremely important that kindness and creativity rule class sessions. 

If you're looking for creative writing workshops with all kinds of science fiction and fantasy flavors, or interesting classes on octopuses, monsters, vikings, and witches, please look at the classes here on Outschool. Parents wanting for private tutoring for their gifted learner may be interested in my 1 on 1 classes at Outschool. I blog each week about my experiences teaching, working with writers who want to publish, and other topics. Please feel free to visit my website Leeyannemoore.com. 

I have an MFA from Syracuse University where I was a University Fellow, and BA from Smith College where I won many prizes in fiction and playwriting. I'm a published fiction author with a background in analytic philosophy.  I've taught critical thinking skills & rhetoric at Hampden Sydney College, Longwood University, and Syracuse University. 

Virginia is where I live with my tiny old dog Jojo. In addition to teaching I'm passionate about gardening, sculling, mountain biking, and baking vegan goodies. 

It's important to me to respond to your message as promptly as I can. You should hear back from me in less than twenty-four hours. Thanks for being patient. :)
