In this 4-week self-paced class I will be walking the students step by step through the creative writing process. This class will be great for students who love to write and want to be more descriptive and also any student that just needs a little insight to get their creativity flowing. I will be covering How stories are structured, how to be more descriptive and how to tap into our senses to make a story come to life using our own words and experiences. Making the writing processed enjoyable and meaningful. Each lesson has a short 1-to-2-minute video and a printable page that goes along with the lesson if you wish to use that instead of your own notebook.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have taught a creative writing class during homeschool. In my experience teaching this class I have found that it is a really fun and simple way to expand your child's vocabulary, writing skills, and creative thinking. It really helped my daughter with being more descriptive and she now has a love for writing her own stories.Reviews
