Description

This club will meet twice a month on the first and third Thursdays at 4:00 PM ET.

The Creative Writing Club is a place for students to expand their writing skills and try new methods for telling a story or writing a poem. Since this is a club rather than a graded class, students can experiment with various writing styles without worrying about submission deadlines or grades. Bottom line: this is a place to foster creativity and have fun with fellow Aim Academy students. In addition to the writing completed during the club meeting time, students will have the chance to share work they have written elsewhere. Peer evaluations and suggestions will be highly encouraged. Learning to accept feedback on one’s writing and also how to give feedback to others is a valuable skill students will need as they head to college.

The Creative Writing Club will meet twice a month to provide a safe, energizing place to share one’s written work. Students will continue to develop their own writing style while also trying new ways to begin a story, learning to develop characters, and finding out what works and what does not when playing with words.

Games, story prompts, and writing suggestions from students will be some of the ways writers get their creative juices flowing during our club meetings.

Who should register?

Students who enjoy writing, or who have considered writing something beyond what is required for a class but have not had the chance to do so, will find this club a safe place to experiment with new ideas and a variety of writing styles. Students will help lead this club and offer ideas, inspirations, and encouragement to their peers.

Student Leader: Hello! I’m Kate, the student leader for the Creative Writing Club. As a writer and aspiring author, I can say with confidence that writing is always better with community. This club seeks to foster the community young writers (or those who are curious!) need to truly thrive in their literary lives. I love having the opportunity to hear what everyone is working on, and as a club, we have so much fun writing, discussing, and playing games together. If you need a writing community to motivate you, or you simply want some space for experimentation, please consider joining! If you have any questions, you can email me at katebeck25[at]aimacademy.online.
