These creative writing sessions inspire struggling and avid writers, as we brainstorm story ideas and imagery (+similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, alliteration & personification) about an adventure picture, and write and share our stories.

Class experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Beginner Level
Students will improve their understanding of the writer's toolbox, including imagery, simile, metaphor, personification, alliteration, hyperbole, and onomatopoeia, through group brainstorming, discussion of creative writing examples, and individual practice. Each student will build up their writer's voice, as they focus on diction, syntax, figurative language, and stylistic choices to describe a scene with a consistent mood.
Homework Offered
There is no official homework, but each student will be encouraged to add their scene description to our classroom and respond to the other students throughout the week.
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
This class is creative and follows the same structure each time, so it is a hit with many neurodivergent learners. There are also no extensive writing requirements and we use Google Docs. Dysgraphic and reluctant writers embrace it.
 1 file available upon enrollment
Each student should have a notebook and pencil or a computer/device to compose their descriptions.
