This sampler-platter of the world of creative writing is designed for writers between the ages of eight and twelve. Students will learn a different genre every day they attend (fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction) then spend the remaining weeks workshopping their work with one another. At the end of the course we will create an anthology of students’ work. Writers will be in charge of designing the cover and will have the opportunity to add any illustrations/other forms of visual art if they wish. Classes will be spent briefly going over readings and examples of the genres. They will also include a mini lesson in which we discuss what we can learn as writers from these resources/readings. Writing prompts and activities (some small, through the lesson and some larger that will take up a larger part of the class session) will be completed in every class. Students will be sent home with optional prompts to work on as well.
