In this class, we will explore writing prompts  by broadening our vocabulary and sentence  structure to dress up our writing output and activate the student’s creativity. This expressive writing is a form of literature; but it requires the student to use their own creativity, imagination and to portray a particular message, emotion, or plot. It is different from  the traditional forms of writing and is completely subjective to the students preferences and experiences. Please bring your imagination to class!
