Creative Writing
Creative Writing is a semester-long elective class designed to help you develop your own voice, style, and confidence as a writer of original short stories, poetry, screenplays, and creative nonfiction. This class is for everyone--for those who consider themselves aspiring authors, and for those who have never written creatively on their own...but want to give it a try! Come one, come all. Let's learn with joy (and without judgement) together.

Unit projects:
Unit projects:
- Personal Narrative- students will write a brief memoir
- Fiction - students will write a fictional short story
- Poetry - students will write a poetry anthology
- Genre and Worldbuilding- students will build a fantasy or science fiction world and write a sample chapter that operates within its structure
- Script Writing - students will write a one-act play either for stage or film
- Publishing/Contest Submission - one of the goals of this class is for each student to create a polished piece or two that they would be proud to submit for a contest and/or publication. To earn full credit for this challenge, you must give proof of submission. You do not need to be published, nor do you need to win a contest; you are just expected to try.
