MITY’s Creative Writing class empowers students to explore their ideas and produce art that only THEY can create. Students will become better writers and more insightful thinkers as they learn to develop compelling characters and a strong plot structure. Through varied prompts and formats, students will critically think about and practice a variety of genres, discovering their unique voice in the process. Within a supportive and fun environment, students will share and discuss their work to gain meaningful feedback as they write and rewrite. Students will also explore their creativity and craft through field trips and published author visit(s).
