Welcome to Creative Writing!

Welcome to Creative Writing!

We have an exciting opportunity for this hexter-long elective (6 weeks) to be completely online and paperless!  Please bookmark this website to visit daily for your learning objectives and any other important information you might need.

In addition, we will be housing all of our course materials on Schoology. Students currently have a Schoology account through their core Language Arts class and will not be required to create any new accounts.

All writing will be done on Google Docs and shared with me through Google Drive. Adams 12 has set each student in the district up with a secure Adams 12 email account that is linked to Google. Students will learn to log in to their district email and access their Google Drive through this account. No new accounts will be required for this class.
