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.

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.
