Short prompts in a short class, but nothing short of a good time! Join us for a quick yet challenging creative writing activity, once per week. How much can you actually write in seven minutes? You'd be surprised. 3 Writers Max. Yes, 3.
Class experience
I have a creative writing challenge for you. But I also have an exploding taco timer. You in? Keep an eye on the time as you tackle prompts like... ✏️- Write a story without using the letter A. ❓- Write a conversation made up of only questions. 📚- Write a list of the most epic, original book titles you can. We'll start class with a quick "hello" and then the challenge will be revealed. I'll start the seven minute timer (expect a different timer every week), and away we go! Once the time is...
Students will… -brainstorming ideas -practice writing creatively -practice writing under pressure -enjoy a small group environment
As a former middle and high school English teacher, I've taught many lessons on creative writing, and I've used some of these writing prompts in the classroom. I will admit, they had longer than seven minutes. 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.
Despite its low price tag, the content is anything but fluff. We are working on practical writing skills even in this short amount of time. They may be hidden behind a fun prompt, but we are practicing descriptive writing, point of view, crafting a hook, writing engaging dialogue, and more. Plus you have the added value of being only one of three for a more personalized class experience. More about the virtual stopwatch: -The stopwatch has 16 blocks of time. Every class you attend equals one block on the stopwatch, including your first class. After half of the stopwatch is filled in (that's 8 classes), your next class is free. You earn another free class and a new stopwatch after 16 classes. -All "Write Now, Right Now" classes earn blocks toward the same stopwatch. For example, if you attended this class on Tuesday and the journal prompts class on Wednesday, you'd be filling in 2 blocks on your stopwatch for that week. -Your free class will apply to whichever "Write Now, Right Now" class is next on your schedule and will be refunded directly AFTER class. -Blocks are color coded to help you keep track.
