ライターズテーブル: クリエイティブホリデーライティングクラブ継続クラス

In this ongoing course we will meet through the holiday season and read a new daily writing prompt together. Topics will range from story telling, letter writing, descriptive writing, and relaying our own experiences. Prompts each day will include topics from the winter season, Christmas holiday, and the New Year arriving. Anyone is welcome to join and leave at anytime. The second class in this December session will include a letter to Santa Claus. It is optional to address and mail it at home with parent/guardian help. Students will have roughly 25-30 minutes to think about and finish their own writing. During this time I will bounce around and check-in one-on-one with every student to discuss their ideas and provide any help they may need until time has elapsed. The last 10-15 minutes will be spent reading and sharing our writing with the rest of our peers and listening to feedback to improve our writing skills.
