This class will give young writers a chance to capture those wonderful words before they escape, as well as give you a chance to hone the creative process you already use. Each session will include a variety of activities, including idea-generating exercises, “instant creativity” sessions, collaborative workshops and instructor feedback. Students will need to bring pens and plenty of imagination to class!
