*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.
