Scott, Christine / Creative Writing

Hello Students!

Welcome to your Creative Writing Course Site!

Below is the syllabus you would have received on the first day...

I have kept many of the resources here, even though we are working virtually. The course syllabus will be guidelines for us, and we many not be able to execute everything that we usually do when we are all in a classroom together and able to work in groups to collaborate.

We will be working in groups through teams via individual small group meetings though, so we will do our best to connect with each other and share our work!

We will always start our day on Canvas, so rest assured that you will know you are in the right place every day. (Hopefully)

From there, we may work in Canvas, or you may be directed to go to OneNote for an activity, or PearDeck, or some other app. but we will always start in Canvas.

I will cover expectations for online instruction when we meet for the first time.
