This course is about writing to enjoy, writing to entertain, and writing with an aim to be published. Teen writers will dive into a life of adventure and solve mysteries on their way. They will lose themselves in lands unknown and create magic with the flick of a wand and will travel through time while getting a glimpse of the future as they understand the past! A variety of creative idea generation methods will be used to guide students in writing original stories in the genre of their choice.
