DescriptionJuly 8 - 12 | Grades 6-8 | Afternoon Session (1 PM - 4 PM)
Why does your favorite character from a TV show, movie, or anime have such a cool personality? Someone put words in their mouth! In this camp, you can become a screenwriter. But the art of writing dialogue can be applied to so many mediums: write a script for fan fiction, a play, a comic or graphic novel, a comedy skit, or something else! We'll read your favorite scripts, use fun writing prompts, write, and edit. We'll also give constructive feedback and perform each other's work. You'll finish the class with a short script of 5+ pages, helpful suggestions from campmates and your teacher, and the experience of having others read your script. It is awesome to hear others "voice" your characters for the first time!
This enrichment camp is focused on writing and will take place mostly indoors.
About the Instructor
Isabelle Avalon Rogers has been writing plays and movie scripts since she was in middle school at Oak Hill. Her drama teacher inspired her by boldly saying "Yes, your Doctor Who fan fiction is a script!" When she's not writing about spotted owl mascots or alien versions of Greek gods, she is a Master's student and Spanish instructor at the University of Oregon. Outside of school, you can catch her hiking flowery trails, singing karaoke, or trying to learn embroidery.
