Essentially, all writing is "creative" but this class will take a step away from the form and structure of academic writing to explore other forms of expression including poetry, short stories, music lyrics, etc. Creative Writing is an elective course in which students will explore various genres in order to discover strengths and preferences in their own writing. This course will be writing intensive as we will explore how to express our thoughts in various genres.
This course provides an introduction to the writing of poems, stories, plays, and creative non-fiction, with related readings. Students submit writing for class discussion with the aim of creating an original collection of creative work in several genres.

This class would be structured so as to be suitable for students in grades 7-12
