This creative writing course is meant to be a fun and exciting way to expose your learner to several different types of writing. Each week will have a theme, and I will go over the traits of each type of writing at the beginning of each class. Your student will be writing each class, so they will need a paper and pencil for each meeting. There will be a lot of discussions, so your child will have plenty of time to speak if your child chooses to do so.
