Teaching Advanced Story Writing, Tuesday 10:20am
Here’s an opportunity to help your advanced writing students learn a simple expandable system to create stories which can reach professional status. This proven, practical method will properly structure a story of any length. Asking one right question will keep the narrative on track. The instructor developed this enhanced technique to publish countless short stories and 50-plus novels.
Teaching Story Writing to Young Children, Wednesday, 3:30pm
A simple 3-step system using three “O’s” is all your beginning writing students need to create a real story instead of a series of incidents. This triple “O” technique, taught by the author across the country, shows students what basic elements must be in the beginning, the middle and the ending of any story. This method also helps structure the story so it is complete and doesn’t wander off to end up hopelessly lost. This session will greatly benefit your young students.
