Course Description

What kind of silly story will we create today? In Build a Silly Story!, learners will use fun story cards to help spark their imaginations and guide them through the storytelling process. During class, the teacher will draw different cards and reveal several story options. Learners will choose the characters, setting, problem, and other story details they would like to use. Then we will brainstorm together and build the story one piece at a time. Learners will practice: Choosing and developing story ideas Brainstorming before beginning Identifying characters and setting Creating a problem Deciding what happens next Planning a solution and ending Turning their ideas into a complete story After brainstorming, learners will create their own story. Older or more confident writers can write a short story using their plan. Younger or newer writers are welcome to draw their story instead! They may use pictures, labels, short sentences, or a combination of drawing and writing to show the beginning, middle, and end of their story. The goal is not perfect spelling, grammar, or a long piece of writing. The goal is to help learners organize their ideas, understand the parts of a story, and complete a story they are proud of during class. Because different cards are drawn each time, learners are welcome to take this class again and again. Every class can lead to a completely different story!
