Course Description
This semester-long course studies the elements of narrative non-fiction, short fiction, poetry, and drama. Students will apply these elements to create non-fiction compositions, short stories, poems, scripts, and plays. Students will produce a sustained creative writing portfolio throughout the course that includes prewriting, journal entries, activities, and early drafts. These will be useful for analysis, inspiration, and future development. Students will understand and demonstrate how these creative elements reflect God’s image.
