Creative Writing 8 challenges students to refine their writing through advanced techniques and sustained creative projects. Students analyze mentor texts, explore the composing processes of professional writers, and apply these insights to their own work. Emphasis is placed on revision, voice, and thematic development across genres. Students produce a portfolio of polished writing and may contribute to school publications or participate in writing contests. This course prepares students for high school-level creative writing and fosters confidence as independent, expressive writers.
