Situation 1
Aloo Prasad Yadav and Ramdev Dubey are names of school Principals. Aloo Prasad Yadav takes a special class for the students. He teaches Bhojpuri. Ramdev Dubey teaches a Pathshala.
Situation 2
A grumpy teacher becomes a loving one when she accidentally breaks her leg and has the children taking her to the hospital.
Situation 3
A young princess with beautiful green eyes and a crown set with precious stones cannot win over her subjects because she is rude and arrogant.
These were some of the things that the young children aged 10-14 came up with at British Council during the October 25 Workshop that was Conducted by Writeherewritenow.
Richa gave the children leads, saying that in order to create a character, one must focus on Appearance, Attire and Personality Traits.
Then, as a kind of warm up exercise, Richa asked the children to concoct characters of a thief, a princess and a school principal, keeping the above factors in mind.
Finally, she asked them to focus on "character growth" telling them how if a character did not grow in a story, it would be a flat character.
This workshop culminated into many interesting stories.
