"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!

Warning!!! This isn't your typical author visit.

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

MY VIRTUAL PRESENTATION FOR MIDDLE GROUND BOOK FEST...

SNEAK PEEK INTO A FRIGHTSTORMING SESSION

If you're still wondering what a FrightStorming session 

looks like, check out this video!


It is similar to what I do when I visit schools, but the main difference is there aren't any kids providing ideas like they do when we're together.


I have so much fun working with the students. There's nothing better than developing ideas together on the fly, no matter how far-fetched they are, to create something fun!
