Injoy, Inc. is hosting a FREE Summer Writing Program for students. These lessons contain ideas for students in PK through high school to write and enjoy fables!

Over the summer, students  explore how to create a Fable, with weekly lessons that explore these creative writing elements:

  • storytelling: creating a beginning, middle, and end
  • how to create interesting characters
  • how to make up a plot complete with conflict and resolution
  • using dialogue to enhance the plot
  • writing an interesting moral to the story

At the end of the summer, students under the age of nineteen can submit their fable to the Fable Contest (contest kicks off August 23, 2013). The top fifty+ fables will be published in an e-book, with prizes for several different age groups for the most interesting fables.

So far, prizes include, but more will be added continually throughout the summer:

How To Write a Fable: Exploring Characters, Plot, and Theme

Fables are one of the most interesting story styles. They are generally short, but include interesting characters, a plot that contains a wallop, and a theme that keeps you thinking long after you finish reading the story–possibly coming back to your memory years later. Remember the tortoise and the hare?

In learning to write a fable, a writer hones their story telling skills, builds an interesting and memorable plot with conflict and humor, develops interesting characters, and weaves it all together with a theme that has value–a moral to the story.

Sign up for the Online Writing Workshop to learn how to write a fable. Students younger than nineteen can subscribe at the special student rate.

Injoy, Inc. is also offering a basic FREE Summer Writing Program for students to learn how to write a fable. Sign up here. The difference between the FREE Summer Writing Program How To Write a Fable, and the Write Now! Online Writing Workshop is that students in the writing workshop have individualized instruction with a writing mentor, which includes feedback, critique, revision, editing, and important constructive critique that will help students hone their writing skills. Students in the Write Now! Online Writing Workshop will write several fables over the course of the 8-week class, with an opportunity to submit all of their fables to the Fable Contest.
