Mr. Arresto - Creative Writing 7H
Course Overview
Creative Writing is a project-based honors-level class. Our class will meet every other day for the entire school year. Unlike most classes at Grand, Creative Writing is a pass/fail course - there will be no numerical grade come report card time.
For all major projects in this class, steps 1-4 of the writing process (prewriting, drafting, revising, editing) will be done in school. Step 5 (a.k.a. publishing, or typing the final copy) will be done at home. Final copies may be emailed to me or sent to me through the "Submit an Assignment" dropdown on the website. I do not accept printer malfunction excuses. Most written projects will receive letter grades (A-F). Tests and quizzes will receive numerical grades.
