With the right tools, your students can write confident and compelling narrative pieces. These four activities will help students to discover how a character’s flaws or mistakes can become the engine for an electrifying plot. Your students will learn to -

• Craft compelling, honest, potentially hilarious characters using techniques including psychology.
• Quickly set themselves up for a successful first draft.
• See that it’s good for a story when nothing goes according to plan.
• Add a rough edge to the over-perfect characters that can make a story too obvious.
