In Creative Writing for High Schoolers, learners will discover new ways to flex their creative muscles. The course will cover a wide spectrum of creative writing, including prose writing, poetry, screenwriting, playwriting, and more--all at a level appropriate for older teens. Learners will also add a number of writing exercises to their tool belts, such as journaling, which will help students organize their thoughts and craft vivid descriptions that can be used in academic classes and on personal essays. Additionally, the course will review English mechanics and grammar in order to make learners' writing the best it can be.

Each course section will involve a review of the previous section's homework and time to share, introduction and practice of a new writing skill, and time to workshop new ideas. Learners are encouraged to share their writing and build a community of creators within the course. However, if some learners are more hesitant to participate in our group discussions and workshops, accommodations can be made to include them in a more comfortable way. Classes are always conducted in a laid-back, conversation-based manner. The course is a great idea for young creative writers or learners who just want to improve their writing skills.
