Each week learners will be given a visual writing prompt. They will then have 20 minutes to use their imagination and creative writing skills to craft a short piece of fiction. Any format or genre will be acceptable. They may choose to write a narrative, poetry, or even a script for a play. At the end of our time, they may choose to share with the group. Assistance will be given as needed. If a one-on-one session would help your child further explore their writing talents, these can be made available. Class structure At the beginning of each session, we will discuss a different creative writing format (narrative, poetry, script) and genre. However, writers are free to choose the format and genre they use. After a short lesson, learners will be shown either a photo or a silent video. This visual will be the jumping-off point for their work for the day.
