A ten lesson creative writing program done in 7th grade English Language Arts classrooms and with the support of a participating classroom teacher. Over the course of the program, students will identify an obstacle that stands in their way of their personal interests and/or aspirations and create a one page soliloquy that expresses their views on the obstacle in addition to their perspective on a contrasting viewpoint.
Students will begin the program by exploring their interests, strengths, beliefs, and, aspirations in order to deepen their understanding of how outside factors shape their personal perspectives. After developing a greater understanding of their point of view, students will explore and discuss the perspectives of others in order to develop a well rounded understanding of viewpoints that contradict their own.
The program will culminate in a show where professional actors perform student created soliloquies live and students express the inspiration behind their creative choices.

Mission Statement
Young Storytellers sparks creative self-discovery through storytelling. Our programs highlight young people as the center of their own narratives, emphasize that their stories matter, and celebrate their unique voices as the ones telling them. Young Storytellers works towards a future where young people experience, through the stories they write, the impact that their thoughts, feelings, and words can have on the world in which they live. We raise voices, one story at a time.
Description
In elementary school, Young Storytellers uses storytelling to help young people explore their creativity and imagination. In middle school, we use storytelling to explore their goals for the future and what challenges might stand in their way. In high school, we use storytelling to explore the impact their voice can have in their community - and, more broadly, the world.
