CREATIVE WRITING:  For many hundreds of years, literature has been one of the most important human art forms. It allows us to give voice to our emotions, create imaginary worlds, express ideas, and escape the confines of material reality. Through creative writing, we can come to better understand ourselves and our world. This course can provide you with a solid grounding in the writing process, from finding inspiration to building a basic story. Then, when you are ready to go beyond the basics, you will learn more complicated literary techniques to create strange hybrid forms of poetry and prose. By the end of this semester-long course, you can better discover your creative thoughts and turn those ideas into fully realized pieces of creative writing. This course is designed to allow students the freedom to demonstrate their own creativity and process and share their voice with a community of writers. Creative Writing is an English elective course.

Grade Level: 10-12

Please Note:


  • Online summer school courses are rigorous. Students will be taught an entire 20-week semester within each 3-week summer session and should plan to commit 6-7 hours per day to the coursework on Canvas.

  • Online summer school courses are self-paced and quarter-based. All work for each quarter is due by the end of that particular quarter. Students will earn two quarter grades instead of one semester grade.

  • Online summer school students will be expected to complete most of their work asynchronously and at their own pace. Teachers will be available throughout the week to offer instructional support by email during regular summer school hours. Teachers will hold one live virtual class a week to provide a synchronous learning opportunity which is optional, but highly recommended.

  • Year-long courses consist of two semesters that run consecutively. Semester 1 of a year-long course will only be offered during Session I.
