We are soaring minds, yearning to lead our audience into worlds of darkness, delight, and dystopian madness. Through our writing, mundane lives are left behind, and a great escape into our deepest desires is found.
This course provides students with a solid grounding of the writing process, from finding inspiration to building a basic story to using complicated literary techniques. By the end of this course, students discover their voice and learn how to turn their creative thoughts into beautiful works of art.
This course can count as an English credit but is only for Juniors and Seniors.
"This class shows you the different forms of writing by writing your own version of them." - Makai; "This class is pretty fun because you get to make poems and plays on your own. Also, you will get to be creative in your own way with others around you in the classroom. Moreover, this class doesn't stress you out, but brings joy to you." - Michael; "Creative writing is a class where students enhance their writing abilities by enhancing their techniques, as well as getting valuable feedback from fellow students. It's a fun experience you can really grow from." - Chelsea; "The ability to express yourself freely and creatively is something that isn't given much time to in schools. Creative Writing is a haven for those looking to build their creative muscles and be themselves through writing." - Diego
We read memoirs, short stories, poems and plays, and then we turn around and write our own, unique pieces. We share our work, we critique our work, we revise our work. We create a website to share our creativity.
