This week our Year 8 Keilor Downs College writers are working on developing the middle and endings of their stories.
I have been sharing with them how I introduced new story events and increased what was at stake for my character Ruben in Beyond Belief to make the middle of the story more compelling.
They are now applying the ‘raising the stakes’ principle to their own stories.
The students have been sharing their story ideas and beginnings with me.
They are developing great characters and stories and I can’t wait to read them.
Thank you to Creative Victoria and The Creative Learning Partnerships programme for making this residency possible.
