Creative Writing Workshop

Classes are designed to support 4-6 students per group each week. It serves as the perfect blend between maximizing classroom interaction and peer-to-peer learning opportunities. Learning goals and strategies are tailored to each class to improve students' writing skills. 

Our students are guided to read, comprehend, analyse, and evaluate texts from classical stories and masterpieces. Students are encouraged to adapt their knowledge to rewrite their favourites or create their own stories after learning from the masters.

Students will develop core writing skills in the workshop:

• Story planning and construction skills

• Character development and descriptions

• Choice of vocabulary

• Different language features in presenting characters and settings  

• Skills to think and write creatively  

• Using imagination through being exposed to a range of stimuli.

Using a student-centered "Modeled - Guided - Independent" instructional model, our teachers collaborate with students to scaffold their learning and eliminate any gaps in understanding. Advanced students are also challenged at their own pace. 

Students will be assigned a writing challenge each week to apply their learning and sharpen their writing skills. Students will develop personal writing habits and become confident writers through weekly take-home writing tasks and individual feedback from teachers.
