지금 쓰세요! 창작 글쓰기 클럽

Each week, learners will enjoy a new flight of the imagination in this creative writing club!

Learners will develop their writing styles and expand their horizons with a variety of writing prompts and challenges. Club meetings will rotate between writing short stories, poetry, short skits/plays, & more!

At the beginning of class, I'll provide modeling with discussion and slides, helping learners to understand the selected format and goals. Learners will write independently for approximately 25 - 30 minutes, depending on the activity. (Depending on the week's topic, we might also do some writing together as a group.) Learners will have the opportunity to share their work with the group. I'll encourage learners to respond to other students' work using specific sentence stems, in order to promote a positive learning environment. 

Following class, some learners might like to expand upon our writing activities: revising, editing, or simply adding more to their work. Learners will always be welcome to post their expanded work in the Outschool "classroom" view, and I'll provide feedback.
