A Kid's Point of View

For my final project I decided to write a children's television show. The idea came when I didn't really want to do any of the other options, and I decided that kids are fun and they don't know big words. I talked with my friends for ideas, about characters and names (I'm not good at naming things ... as a point of reference, my beta fish is named Fish.). Anyway, I developed an idea of an education show that teaches kids about plants, animals, and places they don't see everyday. The show is called Out of this World, and is hosted by an adventurous panda bear named Bamboo.

Writing the first draft was not as difficult as I thought it would be. Like I said before, kids still don't know a lot of stuff, so writing simply, is the only good way to communicate to them. Using short concise sentences with words they would understand was pretty simple. It's easy to make something conversational when there are two characters talking to each other. I just kept imagining that the characters were real... what would they say to each other? I also developed personalities and ideas of how each character would talk. That made it more fun, because I could hear the characters talking.

Overall, I was pretty happy with my first draft... and I had a lot of fun writing it!
