Learn the 5 Acts and 10 beats to write the perfect story!                                                                                           

    Most teachers, and many Hollywood writers even, don't really know why some stories are excellent, and some really don't work well. The answer to this question has been a lifelong obsession for Oxford Master Matt Townend, and after twenty years of searching, he finally found the answers. In this course, he shares the secrets of perfect stories! But writing is a difficult skill - the most advanced English skill as you need strong grammar and vocabulary to do it well. 

On this course you will learn:

- why human beings love stories

- the 5 Acts and 10 beats of all stories (hence Pentactive - penta means 5!)

- how to conceive of and structure a story

- how to create character, setting and voice

- how to write in paragraphs

- how to use commas correctly

- how to write in past tense

and more! Stories are useful not just for budding authors - they can be used to sell, to persuade, to inspire, to teach. This might be the most powerful, insightful and useful course of all our Oxford Masters' courses, and it is definitely the one we are most proud of!

NB - the picture is of 'Captain America'. The Marvel superhero movies are great examples of good storytelling. The Pentactive Writing Course uses the star as its symbol - a star is also Captain America's symbol!
