Creating Original Children's Books: Understanding Story Stages

Join us for an engaging class focused on creating outlines for original children's books using the five essential stages of story structure. We'll explore the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution through group discussions and independent work on "The Lorax." By the end, students will confidently craft story outlines tailored for their audience while fulfilling Common Core Literacy standards. Remember, outlines are due Monday, January 28th, with an essay exam based on this material the following day.
