"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart."  -William Wordsworth                                                                                      "The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say."  -Anaïs Nin                                                                                                                "Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning:  I wanted to know what I was going to say."  -Sharon O'Brien                                                                                             "Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself."  -Franz Kafka

Creative Writing is all about learning who you are through writing.  In this class, students will complete four portfolios of work.  The first two are poetry, and the last two are short stories.  The class does daily language warm ups, and then works individually and collaboratively on the daily assignments.  Students have a chance to play with words and language as they grow and strengthen their vocabularies and writing skills.  Creative Writing is a wonderful class to take to discover your inner writer!

Portfolio One - Getting your feet wet with poetry

Portfolio Two - Family & Childhood memories

Portfolio Thee - Learning parts of the short story
