Hi everyone. It's Jennifer. Let me ask you something. What are your summer plans?
June, July, and August are typically summer vacation months here in the U.S.
Will you be on vacation for those months?
I plan to continue teaching during the summer, but I'd like to offer a different kind of group course --
something I've never offered you before,
something helpful, but not too demanding and definitely fun because it's summer!
Have you ever done any kind of creative writing?
You don't have to be able to write a novel to do creative writing. It's just about using your imagination
and finding words to describe what you see in your mind. In short, it's a form of self-expression.
Creative writing challenges the limits of your
vocabulary and grammar. If you're writing creatively in English, you're thinking more in English.
And that's a good thing!
I'd like to invite
intermediate and advanced students to join a creative writing course for the months of June, July, and August.
As I mentioned, it won't be too demanding, but it will be productive and fun.
Students in my creative writing course will receive three tasks. You'll complete one task each month.
I'm going to make sure that you work on those vocabulary skills because each task will combine reading and writing.
You'll read the first part of a story that I've written, and then you will write the ending.
Some students may only write a short paragraph.
Others may write half a page.
You're not going to write a novel. All work will be submitted to me for feedback.
Final versions of the story will be posted and shared on our group discussion board.
This will provide plenty of reading material for you over the summer. You'll learn from one another.
In addition to the three writing tasks, there will be three vocabulary quizzes based on the readings.
Each month, you'll complete a vocabulary quiz at a time that's convenient for you.
Here's the bonus: if I have at least 10 students enrolled in this creative writing course,
I will hold an end-of-the-summer live session where some of these stories can be read aloud.
But more on that later.
Let's review the details. The course will run from June 3rd to August 31st.
Students will complete three creative writing tasks in which they'll write an ending
to three different stories. One story a month.
Completed and revised stories will be shared on the group discussion board.
Quizzes and tasks will be shared through a private Facebook group.
My personal feedback will be given to every student on every writing assignment.
Again, if I have at least ten students enrolled, there will be an end-of-the-summer live session on Zoom where some of these stories
can be read aloud together.
The course fee is $45 USD.
Once I receive your payment via PayPal, I'll invite you to join the private Facebook group.
Keep in mind that a private lesson or one hour of editing is $70, so $45 is a bargain.
If you're interested in my creative writing course, please read the video description.
You'll find instructions on how to enroll. I look forward to reading your creative ideas and helping you build
proficiency in English.
Happy studies to you all!
