Creative Writing Workshop
Student-writers dive into the themes that move or inspire them and through a variety of fun exercises, they will explore the concepts of characterization, setting, visual imagery, voice, plot and more as they create one longer story. Each story will then be workshopped in peer groups, revised and edited. Students will learn about the process of writing and how to organize their ideas which can be leveraged during the school year. Finished stories will be published in a celebratory anthology. |

Chyten's Imagination Authors©
Students display wondrous imaginations, but sometimes seem to run out of ideas when putting their creativity on the written page. In Chyten's Imagination Authors program, our teachers encourage a love of writing through an innovative approach to team book-building. Using novels like Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia as inspiration, the class designs a fantasy world including major and minor characters, settings and locales, an extended backstory and a world of wonder. J.K. Rowling has stated that she spent seven years designing the world of Harry Potter before starting to write the actual books. While we won’t be spending that much time to plan, students will work in design committees, using art work and brainstorming to design plot twists and dynamic characters before beginning the actual writing. Our teachers guide the students, providing mini-lessons on writing techniques while helping to synthesize student work into one class-wide novel representing those amazing imaginations.
