Course Overview



A refreshing programme to give inspiration to GCSE students and their creative writing. On this course, students will learn vital skills like how to plan a killer story and how to take their writing to the next level by lifting the quality of their vocabulary and engage in the sophisticated use of linguistic devices. The aim of the course is to give students the freedom to allow their imaginations to run wild, while offering them a structure with which they can effectively communicate the endless number of fantastic stories that are running through their heads. In no way will this course curb any creativity, it will merely offer the most constructive way to show off each student's writing to the very best of their ability. This course will guide students step-by-step through the essential tools that they will need in order to approach creative writing with confidence and enthusiasm.
