Primarily fiction. Purposefully fun! The emphasis is on creativity but students must possess “staying power” when it comes to writing and editing as they develop their best personal “voice” possible. Sample of writing required. Writing short stories, responses to prompts, children's books, poetry, script writing--performing a one-act play with friends and simple props and/or costumes, reading from your script! Optional submissions to national contests and children/teen anthologies of short stories and poetry, more. Outside speakers occasionally. Using all the senses to write from what you know (or can imagine). Computer-generated homework required. Laptops in the classroom are encouraged. Homework must be submitted as hard copy in class, with an email backup. No holiday assignments.
