"Frightstorming" virtual sessions
Have you offered everything from free bookmarks to pizza parties, but are still having a hard time getting your students excited about writing?
What if you could give your students:
- Increased understanding of story structure
- Experience working collaboratively
- Confidence in writing
- More enthusiasm for reading and writing
IT'S TIME TO TRY FRIGHTSTORMING!
Don't worry—there's no fright, just a whole lot of fun!
I'm Joe, aka Culliver Crantz, award-winning author and creator of FrightVision, a spooky middle grade adventure series written for kids in grades 3-6.
While I love to see students reading and enjoying my books, what really makes me happy is seeing them gain the confidence and desire to write stories for themselves.
Since January 2020, I have done over 100 FrightStorming sessions all across the country, including Alaska! Your school could be the next location of a fantastic FrightStorming session!
FrightStorming is an interactive brainstorming session designed for kids in grades 3-6 to help show them how to create and cultivate their own ideas.
A FrightStorming session will inspire your students to fire up their imagination and create their own stories with guidance from a real life author!
We start by discussing the important components we need to write a story.
Then the fun begins: we will brainstorm and create a story together!
Students will brainstorm:
- Setting: Where will our story take place?
- Character Development: After creating the main character, we'll decide what the character loves, hates, and fears.
- Problem: What needs to be solved?
- Resolution: How will we solve it?
This won't be a plain run-of-the-mill story because I will teach your students the art of the PLOT TWIST, which takes the story in another direction!
The time you spend in a FrightStorming session is an investment in your students!
In a FrightStorming session,
students practice the skills of:
- Listening
- Metacognition
- Questioning and Problem Solving
- Communicating with Clarity
- Creativity and Imaginative Thought
- Collaboration
