Session 1: What is creative writing?

Session 2: Exploring the theme.

Session 3: What’s the story?

Session 4: How to Start Writing.
Aim: To learn how to approach writing a story focusing particularly on creating a plan and structure.

Session 5: Creating vivid stories.

Bedtime Stories Online

Bedtime Stories is a new initiative developed through our social media audience to engage young people in creative writing....

Remember our story about a turtle who gets caught in a storm and then gets washed onto a plastic island where a plastic monster lives?  TodosTeatrONLINE’s first ever virtual project, Bedtime Stories, platformed stories with an ‘under the sea’ theme written by our on and offline followers.  The story is performed by Bethan and a very special guest, our other star of Turtles Don’t Like Plastic, on our Todos Teatro YouTube Channel to help people across the globe get a good night’s sleep ready for the weekend.

Wanna try it?  You can still give this a go by following our handy Creative Writing Guide and ask a friend or family member to perform it!  For that extra ‘vavavoom’, we suggest checking out our ‘under the sea’ music on our Spotify Playlist to listen to and get you inspired as you create.  Don’t forget to give your story a title and perhaps an illustration or two too!
