In this Scholastic Writing Competition Preparation, students craft two original works in different categories and submit them to the competition.
This course will focus on three genres: poetry, fiction, and personal narrative. In each 90-minute session, students will complete creative writing exercises, read, short anchor texts, and write their own original work.
In this course, students will be able to develop their analytical writing skills. From “unpacking” an author’s word choice to organizing a literary paragraph, students will bolster their ability to craft a cohesive argument and defend it with rich textual evidence.
