*Weekly Journals
*Every week you will be given a random creative writing prompt – you will have that school week to produce a one page written response to the prompt that will be due every Friday by 3:15!
*The prompts are designed to be fun, and spark creativity, however, I do realize writer’s block happens, that’s why you have a week – it’s ok to just think!
*Major Writing Assignments
*This course is designed as a writer’s workshop style course to maximize the opportunities I have being one person, to assist many of you.
*The idea is to make the best use of classroom time, so you have less work to do on your own time (because you all have lives, right?)!
*This is a major expectation and time spent in the classroom will factor into your overall assignment grade.
