Writing

Shanghai Ivy School

What is creative writing? This is the question students pondered over the last week at Shanghai Ivy. Creative writing is a style of writing that focuses heavily on imagination and out-of-the-box way of looking at the world. This style of writing is very important for young writers to learn as it lets them show off their own individual way of seeing the world. 

Over the last week, students learned about all of these important parts so that they could create their own piece of creative writing to show the Shanghai Ivy community. The students were then set to the task of writing their own story based off of the prompt given to each year.  

These themes were selected based off of the material from their normal English classes, so that the students could show what they had learned and understood from their lessons.

Creative writing isn’t just the parts of the story however, and students had to learn how to create a story from the ground up. Students learned how to make an outline of a story, add details to make a first draft, self-correct for errors, and use all of this to create a final draft. Learning this organization helps students create stories not only for creative writing, but in other styles of writing as well.

The final point of Creative Writing Week was showing off the students’ hard work in the Creative Writing Exhibition. Presenting and displaying the stories around the gym, students were able to feel the accomplishment of seeing a story created from idea to fruition. Students can use this experience to continue their writing journey for the rest of their life.
