Welcome to creative writing for the 2015-2016 school year.  This class is designed so that you have opportunities to express yourself in writing, improve those skills, and learn new ways to do that.  One tool that we use is blogging.

Blogging allows you to see the writings of others in the class.  Each of you will be expected to to post 2 blogs each week.  One of those will be an assigned topic.  The other post will be a topic of your choice.

You will receive up to 3 points for each post.  3 points = well done, you should be proud to post it.  2 = good, but maybe you could have thought it out a bit more. 1 = do you really want other people to read this?

I will comment on each of your posts.  Your points will be posted on Renweb for you to view privately.

As you read each others' blogs, you are encouraged to post an encouraging comment.  You may share your blog with people outside of class if you are comfortable with that.

Writing can be private, but it's also good to share.  "Creativity takes courage." (Henry Matise)

I am looking forward to this class and working together!
