English Literature with Creative Writing
Overview
Our English Literature with Creative Writing class is for high school students who want to improve their creative writing skills whilst studying influential works of literature.
Through thoughtful class discussion and analysis, students will develop their understanding of the unique challenges faced by historical and contemporary writers.
Students will explore the creative writing process by delving into themes such as plot, setting, character development, visual description, point of view, imaginative language, and emotional appeal.
Students will visit Stratford upon Avon, the 16th-century birthplace of William Shakespeare.
Working in small groups, students will:
- Develop a wide range of creative writing skills by reviewing novels, short stories, poetry, plays, screenplays, and graphic novels.
- Learn how to form unique plots
- Improve grammatical accuracy
- Enhance their writing styles
- Use figurative language effectively
In this class, we help students find their own unique literary style and writing voice.
