Course Summary: Creative Writing is a class focusing on the process of building a story. If your student has taken Literary Elements 1 & 2, then they have learned the fundamental e lements of the story (character, plot, setting, theme, point of view) and some of the literary devices which make the story interesting (symbolism, motif, flashback, foreshadow, allegory, imagery). In this class we will look further into developing these elements as well as how to develop characters, create a mood, write believable dialogue, and build a story from beginning to end. Students will be expected to write three shorter assignments and two to three longer stories over the course of eight weeks. We will meet for 1.25 hours each week (one hour one day and a 15 minute one-on-one revision session later in the week) with about 30 minutes of homework each night. Class Size: 6-7 students Class Time: One hour per week plus .25 hr one-on-one revision meeting* Class Dates: Eight weeks* Homework: Around 30-60 minutes each week *Note: The detailed class time and dates will be determined by the majority of the registered students To register, find us on WeChat for Q&A, WeChat ID: LuvEast Show more
