Story Writing for Teens

An introductory story writing course for high school students taught by Mrs. Melissa Sweeney, MA, this course is appropriate for students grades 8-12, or ages 13-18. Mrs. Sweeney will guide students through the process of story writing including character, plot, dialoque and style, assigning homework to be done during the rest of the student's school week.
