Let The Words Flow
T.ys this year have been fortunate as we began a creative writing class. Once a week every week we do a class to improve our personal writing skills. Since starting this class we all noticed how little writing we do outside the mandatory English essays. This class has really shaken us up and has gotten more about writing on topics or feelings because we want to instead of having to like homework. The class is provided to us by a poet who encourages us every week.During the classes we really get taken out of our comfort zone in a good way as we have to read aloud stories or poems we have written during the week. We write about whatever comes into our heads or we can write about pictures or items that were shown to us. All I know is once you start writing you cant stop as your creative side bubbles out. From this class we even learn that writing a poem does not have to have rhyming words at each end this is slowly surely growing us out of our primary school haunts!
