Once Upon A Classroom: Creative Writing

This class introduces students to the basics of storytelling, in a structured and supportive environment. We will focus on characters, setting, and simple story structure (beginning, middle, and end). Each class includes a gentle overview of a certain direction for the day, guided discussions, and creative activities such as drawing and writing. Students will also have opportunities to share their ideas with the group.

Outcomes:

• identify basic story elements

• organize ideas into simple stories

• build confidence in expressing ideas through drawing and writing

• practice listening, sharing, and participating appropriately

• share their work in a supportive setting

Class Activities:

• short read-alouds

• drawing and writing activities

• guided creative prompts

• group storytelling and sharing

• short, structured story projects

Materials:

• a writing notebook or journal

• pencils and erasers

• crayons or colored pencils (optional)

All classes are full-year classes. Students enrolled in a Fall Semester class will automatically enroll for the Spring Semester in December to ensure their place in the class. Pricing is per semester.
