Creative Writing

This course is a writing workshop. Students will write every day and they will explore different writing techniques and styles.

Over the course of the semester students will study poetry, fiction, playwriting and creative non-fiction.

The Creative Writing classroom is a community. As a part of this community, students must be willing to share their work and writing ideas with the group.
