Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Hello! This class contains 5 different tips to help serious young writers improve their creative writing skills. This class is more suited to students who have established writing habits or some type of experience, as they focus on applying techniques and improving existing writing skills. 
We will use a PowerPoint to discuss the tips and talk about how they could apply to the student's specific writing styles. After discussing the tips, we will finish the class with an image workshop to practice strong image writing skills and build off of the skills discussed earlier in class. 
Students will only need a basic understanding of creative writing to excel in this class. They will need a writing journal and a pen or pencil to complete this class. 

If you are interested in participating in this course but the time doesn't work for you, please let me know what CST time and day you are interested in. I will do my best to accommodate your student's schedule.
