In English, our collaborative world building unit pushed us to create both a detailed/rich world and characters, but also a cohesive narrative story. I strengthened my story building skills, as well as my collaborative as I worked with 2 others (SaanikaA and EliL) on our story. I had never written a story treatment before, nor had I written any sort of fantasy and/or adventure story, so this was a nice learning experience.
Our story is titled “Emberfell”, and it’s about a group of aspiring documentarians who stumble upon a war-torn fantasy world, where they must choose between bringing peace to its inhabitants, or returning home to worldly fame for their discovery of this new world. One of our group members, SaanikaA, drew some amazing concept art for our characters and setting!
During this unit we read short stories about magical realism and learned how to pitch an idea to a professional audience.
