Creative Writing

This elective is designed to offer opportunities for creative writing in various genres, especially in poetry and fiction. Mini-lessons on craft, daily prompts, and instruction on techniques through workshop are regular practices. Student will discuss writing as writers do, not as literary critics. Students will study models but the course’s primary focus will be the creation of original work. These works may be published and/or performed for the class. When appropriate, writers will be engaged in writing field trips.
