Children's Writing and Creative Class. Creating Characters

This class is for children age 7-12 to create characters and write stories around them.

What makes an interesting character? We will consider a character's special traits, motivations, likes, fears, goals and character relationships. By writing about their characters, the children consider how the character's traits can guide their story and make decisions about what they would like to do with the story.

By taking a step back and reflecting on their characters , students consider a character's motivations, leading to an interesting story.

The children are given a number of prompts, and have the choice of various options to focus on.

All materials provided.

Guided writing with examples and group activities.
