Do you like to think outside the box and express yourself in a creative way? In this enrichment experience, we will focus on a new creative writing theme or genre each week: genres and elements of stories, poetry, comics/graphic novels, building suspense, characterization, and fantasy. Each week, we will learn together using imaginative exercises to spark our creativity, and you will hone your craft in between meetings through practice. We will even have a special guest!
This enrichment experience will meet weekly on Mondays at 2:00pm. The session will run for six weeks starting the week of October 7th.
Instructor will contact each enrolled student with more information, and a list of any required materials.
During this course, you will learn career-related skills and earn a badge for this accomplishment.
