Course: Creative Writing
Description:
Have you ever thought about what you would put on a “Bucket List” if you were asked to list all the things you wanted to accomplish in your lifetime? Have you ever imagined switching places with someone else just for a few hours? How would life be different? Continue to think of such scenarios leaving only your imagination to limit you. Creative Writing will be able to bring all of this to you and MORE! The students will focus on the writing process by brainstorming possibilities, writing drafts, peer editing work, revising drafts, and sharing work with the rest of the class. Not only will the students be learning HOW to write, but they will also be challenged with the amazing capability of LIKING to write as well. Creative Writing will be a class that allows each student the opportunity to succeed, as long as each person is willing to take a chance. Just like everything else in this world, improvement in writing takes time and practice, but this skill remains essential in today’s ever-changing world.
