Students will use art (photography, painting, and videography) to support and enrich individual fictional narratives. This will allow visual and kinesthetic learners to engage with the writing process in a way that is accessible to their learning style. We will also integrate visits by guest speakers to emphasize real-‐world applications. We want to expose the students to different artistic applications of storytelling, and we are hoping that students start to envision a career pathway tied to storytelling enhanced by art. Intended Audience: 5-‐6 graders who need a challenging extension with fictional narrative writing and who are interested in pursuing a career in art. We want to invite students to demonstrate intellectual curiosity by enhancing their stories with art.
