Description
Class Experience
▬▬▬▬▬▬ COURSE SUMMARY ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Whether your are new to writing, or experienced with several stories to your name, this camp is made to help all types of creative writers to build up your own creative writing skills. We will use examples from our favorite books such as "Wings of Fire", "The Hunger Games", "Lord of the Rings" and "Percy Jackson" to learn about the techniques that some of the best authors use in their story making. Class 1: In our first class together, we will talk about...
By the end of this course, students will be able to identify and use five different tools and techniques to enhance their creative writing. Students will know the parts of a sentence and parts of speech, and be able to identify how to enhance basic sentences with additional information. Students will be able to add dimension to their writing through powerful adjective and verb choices. Finally, students will be able to use colors as symbols in their writing to bring out ideas without having to blatantly state them in their texts.
I graduated from California State University San Bernardino with a degree in Creative Writing, and have had my creative writing published in public literary magazines. I have taught English for the past 4 years both online and in brick-and-mortar schools.
Optional homework will be given at the end of each class as a means of using the knowledge gained to engage in different activities with family members. These exercises are not mandatory for the subsequent classes, but are helpful in letting the student practice the material or concepts that were presented with parents or siblings.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
4 hours 10 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
