This course is going to focus on learning the beginning steps of creative writing. Students will be learning about how to brainstorm, developing characters, inciting incidents, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Once the students have gotten through learning and understanding the beginning steps of writing a story, the students will then write their own creative story by the end of the course. Each lesson will be posted on the Classroom. There will be a video of me teaching each topic we are focusing on for that week.
