Put pen to paper and prepare to write! This creative writing course helps students overcome writer's block and strengthens the individual's voice and style. All of the basics--grammar and mechanics, sentence structure, and punctuation--are covered in context as students explore a wide variety of topics.

A cultural project, the highlight of the semester, allows students to explore a country of their choice as they learn how to polish a series of different essays: description, narration, comparison and contrast, exposition, current event, and biographical research. Spring semester continues to capture this creative energy with unit studies in short story, mystery, humor, and poetry. Both semesters use literature as springboards for the student's success. Writers from all experience levels are welcome.

Required Text: "The Basics: A Student's Guide to Writing & Research" by Danielle Lee is included.
