Course Description

What happens when a reindeer gets lost at a Christmas tree farm? What if an elf discovers a mysterious present? Every story can be different in Build a Silly Christmas Story! During class, the teacher will draw Christmas-themed story cards and give learners several options to choose from. Students will select ideas for their character, setting, problem, and other story details. Then we will brainstorm together and build our stories one piece at a time. Learners will practice: - Brainstorming story ideas - Identifying characters and setting - Creating a problem - Deciding what happens next - Planning an ending or solution - Turning their ideas into a complete story More confident writers may write a short story using their brainstorm. Younger or newer writers may draw their story and use pictures, labels, or short sentences. Learners are also welcome to combine writing and drawing. The goal is to help learners organize their ideas, understand the basic parts of a story, and complete a story during class. Different Christmas story cards can be drawn each time, so learners are welcome to take the class more than once and create a brand-new holiday story!
