🎬 Create a ‘Story Essay’ E-book with a Film Director & Novelist
See the world through the Writer's Lens, and Map Out Your Story like a Director! Learn the process on how to turn current topics into Your Own Ebook!
🚀 One-Line Class Introduction
“Master the logic of academic writing through the lens of a storyteller - publish your own English E-book in just 60 minutes!”
💡 Why Does English Writing Need a ‘Blueprint’ ?
<Screenwriting: The Ultimate Blueprint for Logical Writing>
Just as a skyscraper requires a blueprint before the first brick is laid, a compelling essay needs a solid structural foundation.
Through this class, your child will learn to build that foundation using professional screenwriting techniques.
Guided by a film director with 17 years of international experience, they will develop a framework for logic that is both rigid and creative.
This is the path to ‘authentic, human-centered writing’ - a perspective that AI simply cannot replicate.
🌍 17 Years of Global Insight: Learn from a Director and Novelist
From the rigor of British Socratic debate and Canadian critical thinking to the fast-paced business communication of Singapore and Malaysia, Teacher Sarah brings a world of expertise to the classroom.
Having lived in four different countries, her global perspective serves as a vivid map for students. Using professional tools like ‘Character Sheets’ and ‘6-Panel Storyboards’, she teaches students not just how to write, but how to design their thinking.
📚 What Is ‘Story Essay’?
The ‘Story Essay’ is a strategic writing method that integrates the multi-dimensional perspectives required in modern academic assessments into a narrative framework.
Common Essay Formats are the following:
Narrative Essay - Logic Meets Storytelling:
The art of weaving logical arguments into a narrative structure, making complex ideas engaging and memorable.
Perspective Essay - Seeing Through Others' Eyes:
A masterclass in empathy and logic by analyzing global issues through the viewpoints of diverse characters.
Speculative Writing - The Power of "What if?":
Exploring future possibilities and global challenges through imaginative and investigative writing.
Multimodal Report - The Future of Digital Portfolios:
A modern approach to assignments that combines text, imagery, and design for a professional-grade digital presence.
