Your Children's Story- beginning (planning)

Now that you have explored some Children's Literature, it should be clear that deeper things are embedded in the meaning of the work.

So, it is time to take the next step in creating a work such as this- a children's story.

There are a number of different ways to begin.  Whichever way you choose, send what you complete this period to me in an e mail.

Here are the possible beginnings of your idea(s)/ creative work:
1. Decide on what underlying theme your story will discuss through the subtle use of a story.
2. Create a cartoon character or characters, through written description of course, and a setting (environment) that children will respond to.

After you have completed one or both of the approaches above, create a plot plan in the format of a list, so that you are able to begin writing the story from beginning to end.

Remember, send anything and everything you create to me in an email, either as an attachment or copy and pasted in the body of the e mail.

Have fun!
