Weekly Creative Writing: Create a New Story Each Week!
Each week, students will receive a new creative writing prompt focusing on a specific creative writing skill. Students will then spend 20-30 minutes working on a short story following the prompt, and are invited to share it with the class! This class is a great way to make creative writing part of a learner's weekly routine, as well as further develop creative writing, storytelling, and expository skills.

In this class students will receive a writing prompt that coordinates with a specific creative writing skill-- like dialogue, characterization, description, or setting. We'll discuss the prompt briefly, and then students will spend approximately twenty to twenty-five minutes creating their own short story or scene based on the prompt. Students may write their stories freehand...
Below are my general classroom rules and policies. These will also be explained to students when we begin class! -For everyone's safety, and to ensure an engaging and social experience, students are required to have working microphones and video for the entirety of this class, positioned such that we can both hear and see them. Please be sure to prepare your student for this requirement before class begins! -Students are asked not to use filters or virtual backgrounds-- though if there is an important reason to use a virtual background, please just let me know ahead of time that your student will be using one (no questions asked!). -Students will be asked to introduce themselves by sharing their name, pronoun, and a favorite book. This class also requires in-class writing. Your learner will be most successful if they have a quiet space free from distraction to complete this writing.
