Elementary Introduction to Creative Writing

This course will open the door to creative writing to elementary students. All students need to have the

ability to write independently, take correction on their writing, and be prepared to rewrite, revise, and edit

throughout the semester. This course will introduce world building in the form of collaborative, in class

work as well as through creative independent brainstorming at home. The homework is required and is

essential to progressing through the course during the semester as it builds on each other. Other topics

include note taking, outlining, diagramming, drafting, and group discussions.

Students are expected to be encouraging and respectful of everyone and the work that each one brings to

the class.

Poor/hurried/i-did-this-in-the-van-on-the-way-here writing will not be accepted. Students who do not

bring in the required homework or bring in unacceptable work, 3 times will be removed from the course

with no fee refund.

Students are expected to provide the following materials for the class. Other materials will be provided in

class.
