CREATIVE WRITING

Creative Writing will take the form of a writing workshop. Students will write every day through journaling, pre-writing, prompt exercises, composing drafts, editing, revising or critiquing. Students will be encouraged to think beyond the standards of academic writing in order to explore possibilities of language in a creative setting by producing original fiction works. As a class, students will read a wide variety of writings, such as short stories, poems, scripts, dramas, personal narratives, parables, and more, in addition to using visual prompts as inspiration. Students will regularly read their peers’ writing and learn how to provide and accept constructive criticism. Projects may include short stories, original poems, concrete poetry, letters, children’s books, parables, one-act plays, or TV show pilots.
