Creative Writing Book
Students in our Creative Writing class have published the first edition of the Huckleberry Learning Center's Anthology of Short Stories. All semester, students worked on plot construction, point of view, dialogue, character development, details, hooks, mood, setting, tension, style and revision skills and read about a dozen classic short stories. Using these skills, each student wrote 5 original stories for the Anthology and have produced a wonderful collection of imaginative work! The Anthologies are available for purchase at Lulu.com. Stop by to congratulate them at our "Authors' Table" at the End of Semester show.
Published Guide ...
The Fall, 2011 Novels to Knowledge class has published its Guide to American Literature from the Civil War to the Vietnam War! All semester students read historical fiction about these different periods of American history as a way of understanding both history and literature through writing. Students improved in all three subjects along the way and published this beautiful paperback Guide tracing their journey. Books are available for purchase on Lulu.com.
