Creative Writing Adventures

Welcome to Creative Writing Adventures.  Learners will begin to develop their creative writing and storytelling ideas.  This class does not go through the writing process but lets learners use their imagination to put ideas on paper.  We will not be editing or revising their stories but that is something they can do at home. 

Each week we will discuss techniques for building writing stamina, overcoming writer's block, exploring various writing styles, and creative thinking. This is an interactive class that will use games and class discussions.  At the end of class there will be time to share what they wrote if they do want to share.  This is an optional activity.  

Each learner will write to their ability whether it be one sentence or a paragraph or more.  Learners need to know how to form letters and sound out words on paper.  We will not be focusing on spelling when they are writing.  This class is about having a fun experience and getting ideas down and not on the grammar or spelling aspect of it.  
This class is open to young learners who have a passion for storytelling and a desire to explore the world of writing

Join us on this exciting journey through words and imagination, and let your creativity soar.
