This class will cover information found in the Warriors series by Erin Hunter, used as inspiration when structuring a written story. Within this course, the learner will have the option to work either within the existing Warriors world, or create their own clan/s. Characters will be created, with feedback from me as we go along, as well as insight into how to create background and think about why characters act the way they do. As we progress, the learner will also be introduced to world building aspects as well as other ways to develop the clans (old or new) that exist within their story, and how that world building will change their characters. Plotting and quick writing will occur in this class, meaning that there will be short, fun writing prompts to work from. The learner does not need to nor are they expected to finish writing a complete story, but they will be given all the tools to be able to complete one.
學習目標
Learners will be able to identify the different steps which go into creating a story, as well as what they can do to create their own.

超過 5 週課 1:
Week 1: Intro to Characters
The learner will discuss the writing style within Erin Hunter's Warriors series and what main components make up the story. The basic components for writing will briefly be covered through video posted in the classroom, with attention paid on how to start creating characters. The learner will also participate in a short brainstorming activity meant to stimulate creativity, where they will create character which could logically fit into the Warriors world.
課 2:
Week 2: Developing Characters
We will discuss character building, looking at it through the lens of how Warriors structures its characters. During a video lecture, the learner will be taught what an archetype is and will then spend more time writing creatively, working on creating a background and life for the character they created the previous day, including a personality. The learner will participate in a creative writing excise, where they will develop a background short story for their character.
課 3:
Week 3: Intro to World Building
We will cover world building. The learners will create their own unique "Clan" and the territory they occupy, including how their character from the previous day will fit into the world (e.g. are they a warrior, deputy, etc.). This will include another writing excise, where the learner will write about one day in their character's life. The learners will also create a map during this week, mapping out their created Clan/s territory.
課 4:
Week 4: Developing World Building
During this week, will include a video lecture, followed by a discussion on plot and how plot influences character and world. The learner will construct a rough plot outline including a beginning, middle, and end. A blank plot outline map will be provided in class for this purpose, as well as a completed example plot map (made by me) for learner reference. The learner will continue to work on how this plot revolves around their character and Clan.
