Creative Writing III

Students in Creative Writing III will study writing for publication, complete an intensive study of the business of writing, develop the pieces for a professional writing portfolio, and continue to grow as writers by attempting new methods and genres of writing. These students will also offer their expertise to younger writers and develop the communication skills vital to collaborating on a writing project. Students will construct a professional writing portfolio for admission to college writing programs as well as for obtaining employment. In addition, students will study the writing trade, focusing primarily on the different venues to become a published writer. Students may choose to take this class as Creative Writing I and II through dual enrollment at Laurel Ridge Community College. This course will not transfer to a four year university as an English class; however, it may be used as an elective. See Guidelines for Placement of Students in Honors/AP/Dual Enrolled Classes. Students will need to have taken Laurel Ridge CC ENG 112 prior to enrollment to take the course for dual enrollment.
