What Could Go Wrong? The Simple Question Your Students Can Build a Story Around
Friday February 14, 2025 10:30am - 11:30am MST
Salon 08
“I don’t know what to write.” Has that sentence ever been uttered in your classroom? When it comes to story writing, so many students get stuck right at the beginning. This session will show you how to walk your students through a process that will take them from stuck to story. Not only will it get your writers unstuck, but it will teach them plot structure and character development at the same time. You’ll go through the process yourself, and leave with a complete teaching unit that you can begin in your classroom on Monday. (Or Tuesday, if you prefer.)
