Welcome to the Creative Writing Club: Genre Exploration! This dynamic course is designed for middle school students who have a passion for storytelling or wish to discover their creative potential. Over the course of eight weeks, students will embark on an exciting journey through various literary genres, including mystery, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, horror, adventure, and graphic novels. Each week focuses on a different genre, allowing students to explore unique writing techniques and develop their individual writing styles.

Throughout the course, students will engage in a variety of activities, from analyzing popular literature to creating their own original stories and scripts. By the end of the program, participants will have a portfolio of diverse writing samples, including short stories and graphic novel scripts, that they can share with friends and family.


What will be taught?

Each week, students will explore the defining characteristics of a specific genre. They will learn about key elements such as plot structure, character development, and thematic considerations. Students will also learn about the importance of genre conventions and how they shape storytelling.


Each class will be structured around a blend of self-paced instruction, hands-on writing activities, and teacher feedback. The lessons will typically begin with an overview of the genre, followed by inspiration of relevant literature, and ending with a creative writing activity.

How will you teach?

My teaching style is self-paced, student-centered, with emphasis on professional feedback and critiques for students. I prioritize creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing their ideas and creativity. I will utilize a mix of instructional techniques, including self-paced learning guides, multimedia presentations, and detailed feedback and critiques to strengthen students' creative writing skills.

How much will learners get to interact with you?

Students will have ample opportunities for interaction with the instructor throughout the course. Each session will include:

Self-Paced Learning Guides: Brief introductions to each genre and its elements.
Literature Inspiration: Examples of famous literature pieces in each genre.
Writing Exercises: Hands-on activities where students create their stories based on prompts.
Feedback Sessions: Opportunities for students to share their work with teacher and receive constructive feedback.

By the end of this course, students will not only have improved their writing skills but also developed a deeper understanding of various genres and how to express their ideas effectively. They will also have an impressive creative writing portfolio. I can’t wait to welcome your aspiring writers to the club!

其他詳情

父母的引導和規範
The horror genre lesson in Week 5 includes mild, age-appropriate "creepy" themes meant to build suspense rather than frighten. For example, I may introduce well-known horror authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and offer optional short stories for students who want to explore the genre further. The picture prompts used in class are designed to inspire without depicting graphic or violent content. Parents may wish to monitor students’ work to ensure it aligns with an age-appropriate level of "creepiness" and avoids overly violent or disturbing content. This will help ensure that each student's writing remains within an engaging, safe framework suitable for middle school learners.
供應清單
Students will need the following items to participate fully in the Creative Writing Club:

Notebook or Journal: For note-taking, brainstorming, and writing exercises. This can be a simple spiral notebook or a dedicated journal.

Digital Device: For typing longer pieces, sharing work online, or accessing provided digital resources.

I hold a Master's degree in Creative Writing and Literature, along with a Master's in Teaching and a Master's in Library and Information Science. With nearly a decade of experience teaching, I’ve led high school creative writing and journalism courses and organized a creative writing club for public school students. I also have a BA in Psychology and a minor in English, further enhancing my understanding of student development in writing. Currently, I am a school librarian at a 3K-8th grade public Montessori school, and I own a successful tutoring business with my husband, where I specialize in English Language Arts skills.

In addition to my professional experience, I’m a dedicated homeschool mom, supporting my own two academically excelling children as they grow in their learning journey. This blend of academic training, hands-on teaching, and personal commitment makes me well-prepared to guide young writers in exploring diverse genres and building their writing skills in an engaging, supportive environment.
