As a former middle and high school English teacher, I've taught many lessons on creative writing, and I've used this method of putting random elements together into one story with students. They always had a blast coming up with their stories. On my own time, I write short stories as well, two of which are featured in published anthologies. But they're actually not that weird. On Outschool, learners enjoy the writing club feel of a small group, my sense of humor (I think?), and the laid back atmosphere of my classes. And some of them end up staying for years. Literally. I've been teaching Weird Writing Weekly since 2020.
1 file available upon enrollmentStudents may write or type their stories.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Note: this class gives you a chance to write something weird and wacky. That is its purpose. This class isn't meant as an intro to writing course. We aren't focusing on editing anything. We aren't discussing grammar or sentence structure. This is more about the ideas and the creative side to writing.
