Creative Writing

Grades: 9-12
117132 (semester) Credit: 1/2

This course provides students an opportunity for additional writing instruction beyond the standard English program. Experimentation with many forms of writing is encouraged, with an emphasis on poetry, short stories, plays, and all forms of descriptive writing. Students continue to expand and refine their ability to write through analyzing and evaluating their own writing and that of other students. Students may also participate in the layout, design, and overall production of a high school literary magazine. This course will fulfill the graduation requirement for a credit in fine and practical arts.
