Creative WritingAny student who has an interest in storytelling and/or writing is welcome to join. Each class will cover a specific topic and while it is encouraged to take consecutive classes, it’s not required and can be taken as weekly courses. Some topics include grammar, key story elements, and figurative language! There will be multiple activities in each class such as writing from prompts and collaborating with peers to keep everyone engaged.

Persuasive Writing
Learn how to effectively argue a point, the differences between opinion and fact, to ultimately persuade through writing. Students will examine a variety of different opinion pieces and essays and learn the nitty-gritty of each part of an essay. They will get to ask questions, explore on their own and finally, write a collaborative class essay pulling together everything that they have learned. This class will be full of discussions and students will get to suggest and express their opinions on a variety of subjects.
