Creative Writing 12
Creative Writing 12 is designed for students who are interested in creating a body of work reflective of a sophisticated breadth and depth of skill. The course provides students with opportunities to specialize and publish in real-world contexts. Students engage in the exploration of personal and cultural identities, memories, and stories, in a wide range of genres. Within a supportive community, students will collaborate and develop their skills through writing and design processes, celebrating successes. Students will refine their ability to write in complex, controlled styles with effectiveness and impact.
Please note: Creative Writing 12 DOES NOT fulfill the graduation requirement for a Grade 12 english language arts course. Students must take English Studies 12 or English First People's 12 to fulfill that requirement. Creative Writing 12 is considered an academic elective.
