We are going analog first: putting pencil to paper to sketch ideas, outline plots, and draft scenes before ever opening a computer. This hands-on approach helps students think critically about their story structure and gives them room to experiment and revise as they go.
First drafts of their stories have been completed! The next step is peer feedback, where students review each other’s stories, offer suggestions, and help one another strengthen their writing. This process not only improves the stories but also builds communication skills, creativity, and teamwork.
It’s been amazing to watch ideas grow from rough sketches and notes into full stories—and we can’t wait to see these stories transformed into beautiful final books!
