English Creative Writing

Class Info

This course is suitable for middle school students interested in different types of creative writing and learning more writing techniques. Creative writing falls into a variety of categories, including poetry, editorial, fiction, memoir and journal. This writing course will focus on memoir and editorial writing after concepts are introduced, which help students to explore themselves better through brainstorming. Hook, introduction, transitions, body paragraph, and conclusion will all be covered and students will be taught how to write their piece by showing examples from other people's excellent work. Students are encouraged to share new ideas in class and inspire each other, don’t be afraid to speak out personal opinions. There will be an assignment after class for me to evaluate how students improve after learning their writing skills, however, there are no word limits. Without the pressure of reaching a certain number of words, students have more freedom to be themselves and follow their hearts. I believe students will be prepared for high school creative writing class when they gain more knowledge about memoir and editorial. ​
