Description
Class Experience
In all my creative writing classes, the main goal is for students to learn confidence in their own writing and to enjoy writing creatively.
I have been writing stories since I was four, including group stories with friends. I have an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults and have taught creative writing at the middle school level. I maintain involvement in the writing community through critique groups, writers’ forums, conferences, etc. I love giving students opportunities to practice, explore, and learn creative writing.
We will do most of the writing in class, but students may be given optional assignments to help them think about our story.
I will take notes on the class story, but if students would also like to take notes or sketch ideas, they may want paper and a writing utensil. Handouts will be supplied on a class-by-class basis.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
I will guide discussion to make sure it is age appropriate. Land of Stories (magic), Wings of Fire (dragons), and Percy Jackson (mythology) are often mentioned. We will discuss conflict, antagonists, villains, and challenges. At this age range, conflict is usually in the form of disagreements between friends, natural disasters, villages attacked by dragons, etc. However, villains such as witches and evil overlords are often mentioned. Please contact me with any concerns before class.
I may reference Writing Magic by Gail Carson Levine, which is an excellent resource for creative writers of all ages.
