Kids Writing Cool
Kids Writing Cool (KWC) is a self-paced online writing course for primary-aged children. Hosted by bestselling authors Nat Amoore and Tim Harris, KWC is a delicious blend of entertainment, banter, writing tips and interactive activities. (If online courses were edible, this one would be an all-you-can-eat buffet with extra ice cream.)
But hey, online courses are not edible, and ice cream is rather difficult to send through the interweb. So, what does KWC include?
For Kids:
3 hours of entertaining video content
Signed copies of Nat's and Tim's books
An original Nat and Tim story
Nat insulting Tim
Tim whacking Nat with an inflatable hammer
Nat insulting Tim again
Tim confiscating Nat's lollies
Nat apologising to Tim to get her lollies back
1-year access to watch Tim try to work out how to confiscate the lollies again
Access to the top-secret hashtag to share work with Nat and Tim (#KidsWritingCool)
For Teachers and Parents:
Teaching notes (boring!)
Curriculum links (boring!)
Other boring stuff (boring!)
Downloadable resources (actually, these are pretty cool - over 50 pages of structured activities!)
1-year access to have a ready-made creative teaching unit on hand
Access to the not-so-top-secret hashtag to share the kids' work with Nat and Tim
Course content includes (*boring warning*) generating ideas, planning, character development, narrative viewpoint, story timeframe, tips on setting, explicit paragraphing techniques, dialogue (including punctuation tips - how boring), figurative language (literally!), editing, and much, much more.
'My head hurts. Can I stop reading now?'
Sure. Thanks for checking it out. We (Nat and Tim) think you'll have a blast completing KWC!
