Cypress Creek High School – 1/2 or 1 credit

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This study of creative and imaginative writing allows high school students to develop increased skill, creativity, and versatility as writers. In the class, students will be provided the time to write independently and to share and critique their writings with others. In their efforts to perfect selected pieces of work, students will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the recursive nature of the writing process, applying the conventions of usage and the mechanics of written English. Throughout the year, students will study and create a variety of genres such as essays, short stories, poetry, and drama. As a means of extending their knowledge of effective techniques and forms of writing, students will critically examine models of various types written by professional authors.
