Course Description

This online course  will cover: Person, Place, Plot, and Punctuation
Session 1 -  Jan. 2
 Person or Character
 We will look at ways to describe a person beyond how a person looks (e.g.: voice, action, what the person says).

Session 2 - Jan. 9 
 The Second week will address: Place (setting) including time (past, present or future), fantasy v. reality, and descriptive words. 

Session 3 - Jan. 16
 The third week will be about plot or story. It will give tips about how to make sure the story has a beginning, middle and end and why there needs to be a problem at the beginning. 

Session 4 - Jan. 23
The last week will be a fun lesson in punctuation, including a "What Punctuation Mark Are You?" quiz. 

There will be short (5 sentence) assignments for the first three weeks, with feedback, the chance to ask questions and an option at the end to submit a story of any length for a critique.
