Welcome to the Creative Writing Tutoring Class!

In this ongoing class, learners will explore the art of creative writing, developing their skills in crafting compelling stories, characters, and worlds. Whether your child is interested in fantasy, mystery, adventure, or any other genre, this class will help them bring their imagination to life on the page. Prior knowledge of creative writing is not necessary—just a love for storytelling and a desire to learn!

Class Overview:

This class will be structured around learners creating their own original story, guided by professional instruction in planning, writing, and revising. Here's what to expect:

Planning Your Story: 

Your child will start by developing a basic outline of their story, focusing on the key elements such as characters, plot, setting, and genre. The planning process is kept simple to encourage creativity and flexibility, allowing the story to evolve naturally as they write. This approach prevents overthinking and keeps the writing process enjoyable.

Writing the First Chapter: 

After planning, learners will write the first chapter of their story, with each chapter being between 300-400 words. This length allows for detailed feedback during class, helping learners improve their writing from the outset. Consistent feedback after each chapter ensures steady progress, so by the time they reach Chapter Five, they’ll see significant improvement in their writing skills.

Focus on Writing Technique: 

Initially, feedback will center on writing technique—clarity, coherence, grammar, and style. As learners grow more confident in their writing, feedback will expand to include narrative elements like plot development, character growth, and storytelling techniques.
