Join us in this lively class that encourages open discussion and creative writing. Class is designed to support reluctant writers while enriching the most creative writer.

Class will start with learners working together to turn a simple sentence into a more elaborate and detailed piece of writing. This will include mini lessons on a variety of writing topics to include adjectives, verbs, hooks, etc. Then learners will engage in two 5-minute writing challenges! For the first challenge learners will be given a character and setting to write about. They get to choose the events. After brainstorming ideas as a class, the timer will be set and learners will get busy jotting their ideas down on paper. For the second challenge they'll be given a list of topics to choose from, allowing for more freedom of expression through their writing. After each 5-minute challenge, learners will be given the opportunity to share their written work with the class.
