Creative Writing
Students will write short narratives while learning about and experimenting with characterization, point of view, dialogue, setting, and plot. Through analysis of prose and poetry, students will learn how to best include form, imagery, figurative language, and other literary elements into their own writing. The class will help them develop good writing techniques, as well as find their own style and voice. Students will also be required to learn how to positively critique classmates’ writings, as well as apply editing and revision techniques with their own pieces. Each semester, students will compile a portfolio of their complete writings for final credit.
Essential Learning Outcomes are based on the California Common Core Standards and have been individually selected based on their importance for students’ future success.
