In this class, learners will collaborate with one another on their own creative story ideas by going through several fun writing prompts each week that includes a new element in creative writing. The first meeting during the week will cover the weekly topic and content, then they will be introduced to the weekly writing prompts that go with the creative writing element that was introduced that week. Then during the next meeting, we will share out our writing together as a group. The writing from each week that we will share will either be personal developments in individual writing projects, or what learners came up with for answers to the fun creative writing practice prompts from the previous meeting!

Creative Writing Elements by Week:
Week 1: Characterization
Week 2: Setting
Week 3: Imagery (5 Senses)
Week 4: Audience
Week 5: Brevity

**No experience in creative writing is needed for this course. This course welcomes new writers who want to learn what it is like to write creatively. However, learners should be advanced enough in their writing abilities to be able to write sentences and paragraphs on their own.**
