"The strongest children's stories have well developed themes, engaging plots, suitable structure, memorable characters, well-chosen settings and attractive style. For best results, build strength in all areas." The Business of Writing for Children by Aaron Shepard.
Your goal in this class is to write a short story that children will enjoy. At the end of this class I will be letting my two children read your finished assignment. They will then give me their opinions.
In each Lesson we will be going over basic points to writing a children's short story. A small bit a grammar will be accompanying one or two of the orginal lessons.
Lesson One: Character Development
Finding your character.
Lesson Two: Plot
What is your conflict?
Lesson Three: Antagonist
Who or what is your character going up again
Lesson Four: Setting
Where is your story?
Lesson Five: Pulling it all together
Show me what you've learn.
