Playful Writing Techniques for Children’s Stories

“Congratulations, you have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for choosing me as your teacher, it has been a pleasure to share this space with you. Now you are ready to carry out your own final project. For your final project you will have to write your own children's story. I recommend that you choose a story that you find interesting either because it was told to you or you have imagined it. Think about what the character wants and the incidents they will have to go through to fulfill their dream or motivation. Also, write the text remembering that it must have actions, descriptions, dialogues or reflections, you choose in what proportion. Once you have finished it, let it rest for a while and start correcting it through questions such as if what is written is clear, if it can be written better, if the beginning, the end, the words can be fixed or improved. Finally, let time pass again, share it with your friends and start again until you know that you have finished and that the text finally pleases you. Please, do not stop sharing what you have written. You have put a lot of effort and commitment to achieve your text, let the world know it and let your story grow. Lose the fear of criticism! I am looking forward to hearing about your project. I will give you feedback as soon as possible, while I invite you to read the stories of your classmates. Remember... Stories always reach their readers! See you soon on the forum.”
