<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2>This course kit is a fun, project-based curriculum that is designed to enrich students' writing and language skills, designed for grades 6 to 8. This engaging 10-unit course program gets right down to the business of developing scripts and encourages learners to brainstorm their experiences for a story idea. Students pitch their treatment to the class before proceeding to a final script. Students will then translate their ideas into an authentic script in part 2 of this fun curriculum. They'll learn how to mesh characters, dialogue, and scenes into an interesting and entertaining short film! Exciting activities such as "The Psychiatrist's Couch" and "Heroes and Heroines" provide hands-on, practical hints on how to put the pieces of storytelling together. These activities generate scripts and critical elements for a student's initial outlines and create springboards for further development. Along the way, instructors guide students through peer review and sharing sessions that underscore the realistic process of shaping their ideas into workable screenplay skeletons. Throughout the course, a suggested writer's journal encourages each learner to stay on task and collect wild flights of fancy that can be exploited for movie ideas!</div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p><b>Course Outline Features:</b></p><p><b>Lesson 1:</b><p>The Kinds of Movies We Love: An Introduction to Genre and Theme<p><b>Lesson 2:</b><p>How Movies Work: The Three-Act Structure<p><p><b>Lesson 3:</b><p>The Story You Can Tell: Writing from the Heart<p><p><b>Lesson 4:</b><p>The Brainstorm: Coming Up with an Idea<p><p><b>Lesson 5:</b><p>Bringing It All Together: Making Your Ideas Work<p><p><b>Lesson 6:</b><p>Developing Characters: Who Will Your Story Be About?<p><p><b>Lesson 7:</b><p>Understanding Conflict: What Will Your Story Be About?<p><p><b>Lesson 8:</b><p>The Hero/Heroine's Journey: Managing Conflict and Character<p><p><b>Lesson 9:</b><p>Thinking Cinematically: Showing Rather Than Telling<p><b>Lesson 10:</b><p>The Pitch: Writing Your Logline and Treatment</p></div><div class="in-box-description"><b>Includes:</b><ul><li>1 Instructor's Guide</li><li>30 Student's Books</li><li>1 Resource CD / Thumb Drive</li><li>1 Home Alone DVD</li><li>10 Pencils</li><li>2 Bells</li><li>1 Timer</li></ul></div>
