Week 8: Continue Book Writing (Nov.1)

Purpose: Continue writing your book! 

Practice: Continue writing the book with your mentee on Google Slides. Your mentee may need support with typing, so feel free to share your screen and type as they narrate. Please remember that as much of the story as possible should come from the mentee, but if they need help with thinking of creative plot ideas, you can definitely support them with suggesting ideas and brainstorming with them! You can also support them by asking guiding questions such as: “What will happen next?! How do you think our character feels right now? Do you think ___ should happen in the story now? Can you think of something that would make our character need to go on an adventure?”

To assist with creative thinking, you can also have the mentee refer to our school values: “What is something our character can do that shows courage? What is a something they can learn in the story that shows growth? What is the character striving to achieve that shows excellence? What are unique things about the character that we can highlight to show their soul? What other characters can step in to help to show community?”
