Welcome to our Creative Writing class.
You will be writing in a variety of forms this year.
You will need to have a dedicated writing journal (a spiral notebook will serve admirably), a pen, and some additional paper for each class.
Writers will be required to write in their journals regularly; read works assigned to the entire class and chosen for independent reading. Writers will be expected to participate by sharing their own work and by providing appropriate feedback to other writers in the class.
During the first semester major writing projects will include writing a piece of Morbid Fiction due the October 29th. Other major assignments will include a personal essay of the type appropriate for college applications, a second piece of fiction, a toast that will be prepared for use in the writer's family but which will also be presented in class, and many shorter less refined pieces.
Writers will also be assigned projects to demonstrate their learning.
First quarter writers will read the book Writing Down the Bones: Free the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg.
The course syllabus is available at http://www.pps.k12.or.us/depts-c/otl/syllabus/2012-13/10876
