Each child creates a story following the Imagine More Story Structure Steps: describe the main character, including his/her goal and motive, plan the 5W (Who, Where, When, What & Why),Emotions and 5 Senses (details) for every scene.Each scene corresponds to a logical sequence:Introduction, Problem, Solution and Conclusion.This term we will continue with the theme: Use your Super Power to Help Others. The children will work on storytelling skills (voice volume & intonation, face & physical expression) through drama exercises as well as through interactive feedback. The purpose of this class is to foster each child's confidence in expressing him/herself verbally and physically as a storyteller. We create a safe environment to try new things, challenge oneself and learn from and with friends.

build Scratch projects, they can create their own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art by snapping software command ‘blocks’ together. Creating projects in Scratch promotes learning basic computer skills, learn important mathematical and computational ideas, and learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. After learning to use Scratch, we will explore creating programs for the LEGO® WeDo™ robotic construction kits to extend the projects into the physical space to build robots. These sessions will be social, playful, inventive, and fun. View this video to see more: http://vimeo.com/65583694
