Description

Class Experience

This class is a mid-level creative writing class. We will begin with a mini-lesson on graphic organizers, story structure, descriptive language, character-building, world-building, and more. 
We will then introduce the writing prompt for that week (listed below) and brainstorm some ideas. Students will be given 20-25 minutes of independent writing time. We may use breakout rooms at times so I can work individually with students as needed. We will leave about 10 minutes at the end of class to...

Students will enhance their problem-solving skills through creative writing and storytelling. They will learn how to "write around" a problem. They will learn how to express themselves through writing. Most importantly, they will learn to use their imagination and creative skills in written form.

There is no official homework for this class; however, students are encouraged to finish their writing projects or share it with their family!

Computer access with Microsoft Word / Google docs OR pencil and paper to write.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
