Creative Writing Workshop Lesson 1: Introduction to Storytelling
Hi! I'm Livia Blackburne, author of the NY Times bestselling young adult novel Midnight Thief. In July of 2015, I ran a week long creative writing camp for middle and high school students. We had a ton of fun, and the students wrote some great short stories and novellas! After the camp, I revised my materials and expanded them for other teachers to use.
Lesson one is a bird's eye view of storytelling. Why do we tell stories in the first place? What makes a good story? How do you become a bet

Brief intro to Graphic Novels layout
This is a brief powerpoint that goes over the page elements of a graphic novel.
I use this with my Grade 11 class in teaching Macbeth; I had a graphic novel version of Macbeth that was fairly accurate to the play. I would photocopy a few scenes (enlarging it) and white out all the speech bubbles. Students would have to use visual cues to input dialogue.
This idea can also be adapted with younger grades as a story composition tool.
