創意寫作：魔獸之海 - 與神話生物的戰鬥

Scylla and Charybdis are beasts to battle in a sea of monsters! Writers in this multi-day writing camp learn techniques for story development and then they spend time in class writing. Students will learn to weave their own mini hero's journey!

Each live class includes explicit, direct instruction with teacher modeling, guided feedback, and independent practice. Further, students get to read their story segments aloud to the rest of the class if they want (it is not required). Students receive authentic and constructive feedback from the instructor that helps students correct their grammar mistakes and fine-tune their skills.

• Specific, not general
• Immediate, not postponed
• Routine with a revision / feedback cycle
• Explanatory
• The right amount
• Targeted to the most critical issues
• Varied (written, audio, and video comments)
• Holding students accountable
