Focus:
In this subject, students will look closely at what makes a good story, things like world building, characterisation, writing to show and not tell, cohesive structure and enhancing creativity. We delve into the tricks of a writer’s toolkit: literary devices like metaphors and similes, strong verbs and rich adjectives, as well as writing from a point of view and imbedding themes into your work to give depth to your stories. We’ll explore a range of text types, journalism, personal writing and more. We’ll also be organising CSC’s very own Writer’s Festival!
