This class is a fun Creative Writing Summer Camp! Students will meet for 4 days for this writing camp. They will write a creative piece each day [more information listed below], learn a writing technique to use in that day's class, and have an opportunity to share their work with the class! My classes are meant to be fun, creative, and inspiring for young writers. I love to help students come up with new ideas for their creative stories. This writing camp will be casual while still educational. Each day will start with a mini-lesson (listed below) on the skill they will use that day for their writing project. Students will spend 15-20 minutes writing in class. I ask for quiet time in class and only allow students to ask short questions during writing time so that everyone can concentrate and write! Each class will end with students sharing their creative work! I will never force your child to share, but most students want to share their work in class, so I always allow time at the end of each class to share! Creative Writing Topic and Style listed here: Monday: Poetry; rhyming and acrostic [freestyle is an option for students as well] Students will write poems after learning a few styles and reading some samples. Tuesday: Short Story; using the 5 senses to tell a story Students will write a short story of their choice. Wednesday: Comic Books; Dialogue, onomatopoeia We will write our own comic book in class! Thursday: All about me; figurative language, imagery Today we will write a personal narrative in any style they choose. Students get to choose their own adventure in writing today. More about me: I am a student-focused writing teacher, meaning my students help guide the class. If someone is struggling with a concept we work more on the idea.

Students will improve their creative writing skills, learn how to present their work to their peers, and have fun creating new writing projects each day!

*I will be taking a break from Outschool beginning in 2024. If you send me a message or a class request I cannot promise you will hear back quickly. I am back in school for my MFA in writing. This will be my focus for a while. Thank you for understanding! Have a wonderful day!*
My name is Emalie and I consider myself a lifelong learner. This is why I pursued my BA in Creative Writing and Africana Studies, got my teaching certificate, and then decided to pursue my MA in English and Creative Writing.
The ability to help others find their creative voice is my passion! Creative Writing is where I shine as a teacher! I love helping young adults and children find a way to let their voices be heard. I am passionate about writing and teaching children and young adults to love expressing themselves through the written word.
Reading and Writing are a way to connect with the world and people around us. I hope to be a person who can foster your love of the English language and the written word.Reviews
