Creative Writing! - Learn to Write a Short Story

In this 4 week ongoing class each student will learn how to write a short story.  We will meet once a week. The student will learn how to  use their imaginations to create a story idea.  Some techniques I will use to foster creativity will be journaling as well as conversation ideas in class to get the student ideas focused.  Each lesson will build upon the previous lesson. Your student will be able to share their ideas in class and get feedback and help each week as they work towards the end goal of their finished short story.  As an English major in college I loved creative writing.  I taught creative writing during my career as a high school English teacher.  I am currently writing a novel.  I decided to offer this class to help young writers find a love for creative writing.  I like to have fun in class.  I am laid back but structured.  I feel the best way to engage students is to keep learning fun.  My goal is that your student will develop a love for creative writing and have a short story they have written to fuel their passion for writing in the years to come.
