Story Switcheroo

by Brave Writer Author

What if Goldilocks's porridge had magical qualities à la Alice? Or what if she had stumbled across the homes of the 3 Pigs instead of the 3 Bears? Join us on a whimsical journey through the world of fairy tales, in Story Switcheroo! In this class, we create a mixed-up land for your kids to explore. We’ll be stretching their imaginations and writing original stories and scenes from the building blocks of traditional fairy tales. We combine story elements, lighthearted writing exercises and imaginative play to introduce your child to a whole new magical world - of writing! Our welcoming atmosphere and flexible approach makes this class a perfect fit for any age or stage, particularly for those kids in the Jot It Down phase. There is room for the whole family to join in at whatever level they feel comfortable. You can complete the assignments individually or as a family! Parents will find this class empowering, as we use the classroom activities as opportunities to use the Brave Writer approach in your homeschool and affirm your choices as a homeschooling parent. We will implement several strategies from the Writer's Jungle and the Jot It Down curriculum. So if you are looking for a jumpstart into Brave Writer writing instruction or something the whole family can share, this is the class for you! Families in this class will need to be stocked with fairytale stories to read! You can use books you have on hand, or pick up an anthology at your local library or bookstore. Feel free to follow what delights you and your kids since we will become good friends with these themes and characters over the month! Here are some suggestions if you are looking for a place to start:
