Fine Arts - Creative Writing

Creative Writing is an elective fine arts course designed for students who enjoy writing and wish to further explore various literary genres, as well as to experiment with ones own ability to craftily put a pen to paper. This course is intended to help each student discover her own natural writing potential, find her own writing voice, and investigate the "essentials" of strong writing. Over the course of the year, students will be exposed to a multitude of topics and prompts (imagery, setting, character development, etc.), as well as the four major literary genres-fiction, essay/memoir, poetry, and drama. Students will be asked to independently write original pieces on a daily basis, illustrate the writing process through revision, participate in peer edits, and constructively respond to the writing of others. Students are expected to be a motivated reader, writer, thinker, and sharer.
