Before you know it, summer will be here. Now is the time to plan to teach creative writing to make money in the summer time.
Many parents work and would be happy knowing that their children’s brains are still working while they are off of school for three months. Creative writing lets a person’s mind wander, be productive all the while creating a story, poem or letter.
You could have the children start with a page in their journal when they arrive at your house. This way if you have more than one child in your creative writing class, one child can get started while you both wait for the rest of the creative writing class to arrive.
You could have one big project for the children to learn. Such as a children’s book. With the children’s book do research on how many pages and lines of words the children should have. Next, let the children put the pages in order. If you have a computer you can let the children choose the type of font they want to use to type up their story.
Now let the children illustrate their book. You can give them the option of drawing the pictures or using the computer to create their pictures. If you have quite a few children, you will have to have them draw their own pictures or you won’t have time for each child to draw on one computer. You may let the kids create the pictures at their home as homework if they have a computer.
The next project could be a poem. Have the child write a poem about summer. Tell the child to write what the child feels and sees during the summer.
You can advertise by letting the school know ahead of time that you will offer a creative writing class over the summer. If the school allows, make up a lot of fliers so that the school can hand them out and send them home with the children. Advertise in the newspaper and at all local businesses.
You may want to plan on charging the same fee a babysitter in your area would. This way you will have the children for about two hours and the parents know that it is the same price as if their child or children were sitting in front of a TV at the babysitters. You will definitely get creative writing customers with this price.
Have each child bring loose leaf paper and a spiral notebook for their creative writing journal.
