Creative Writing Workshop

In this virtual classroom, learners will be taught how to collaborate and share their creative writing with their peers in a helpful and communicative environment. They will also be taught a general theme throughout the weeks. Each week will focus on a different element of creative writing. The first four weeks will be themed as follows:

- Week of (04/21): Write with purpose (write with an audience in mind)
- Week of (04/28): Characterization (learning how to develop characters in a story)
- Week of (05/05): Conflict (learning how to write with conflict)
- Week or (05/12): Dialogue

If this schedule changes, or a new theme is introduced, learners and families will be updated and notified on a weekly basis.

The general structure of the course will be dependent on the amount of learners and what each learner brings to the class. Generally, I will lecture and give tips about the theme, and then give students time to practice that theme with a current creative writing project they are working on individually, or with a short prompt I give to them (whichever they prefer) and then we will come together as a group and share our writing with each other. There will be chances to answer questions of the writer or give critiques at the request of the writer.

There is no additional knowledge needed to enroll in this ongoing course except for experience in creative writing or the ability to write a paragraph at a time.
