This is a 50 minute 1 on 1 class intended to meet twice a week for 6 weeks. It is designed to be an environment where students in grades 6 thru 9 can feel comfortable to explore their own ideas, build skill and confidence, and create their own short story through collaboration, guidance, and encouragement. In each session, we will discuss: * The elements of creative writing * Plot structure and character development * Examples of literary devices used by other authors such as -imagery -metaphors and similes -personification - allusions -symbolism -irony - foreshadowing and suspense. - precision of language and use of synonyms Once students have begun writing their story, we will also discuss grammar and mechanics (based on student's writing).
