在混血營學習創意寫作的秘密

▬▬▬▬▬▬  COURSE SUMMARY  ▬▬▬▬▬▬
Uncap your pen (make sure it's not Anaklusmos!) and dive into the Sea of Monsters in order to uncover the deep secret of creative writing. Train with us at Camp Half-Blood as we learn about what tips and tricks can make your writing really come to life. 

Class 1: In our first class together, we will start at the beginning with the most important step - words! Using the satyr Grover to guide us through our initial journey, together we will discuss how to become "Word Collectors" as we leap into the search for Pan. Here we will pick up clues that can lead us closer or farther away from the Greek god of the Wild, satyrs, and folk music by seeking out the most interesting words.

Class 2: In our second meeting, we will wade through the dangers of The Sea of Monsters with the help of Percy Jackson. We will start this lesson by learning about what an adjective is, how we may use adjectives and what they do to in our sentences. We will then learn about the "bad" adjectives that are 'wanted for crimes against the written word'. Together we will look at some examples of exemplary adjectives as seen in Percy Jackson and discuss what makes these images so vivid and then try our hand at adding in important adjectives to make a dull sentence into a great one.

Class 3: In our third and penultimate class, we will fight back against the Titan's Curse using powerful verb replacements. This lesson will walk you through the most commonly (and overused) verbs and how to change them into something more vibrant for our readers. We will look at using "strong" verbs to perform to tasks at the same time by providing an image and an emotion for each character we discuss. 

Class 4: In our last class together, we will battle our way through the Labyrinth by combining all that we learned while training at Camp Half-Blood. Here we will work together and learn how to turn boring sentences into exciting ones using adjectives and strong verbs. With Annabeth on our side and Percy leading the way, we will dive into the Labyrinth and face the monsters there.
