Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. At this time, we are submitting a revised English Elective course titled Creative Writing. This course does meet the UC/CSU A-G requirement "G" Elective.
This is the second revision for the course Creative Writing since it was first created for the Perris Union High School District in 2000. The changes presented to you today follow the current English Language Standards and meet the UC/CSU requirements for graduation. It is not intended to replace an English course but to be taken concurrently with the proper grade-level English course.
Creative writing is a comprehensive sequence covering California skills standards related to reading and writing strategies and reading and writing applications, as well as standards applicable to visual and performing arts approachable through creative writing, book design, and screenwriting in several distinct genres.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to originate and carry to completion a finished work of creative writing, including Short Stories, Novellas, Poetry, Fiction, Personal Essay/Memoir, Playwriting, Screenwriting, and the Hybrid Genre. They will collaborate with fellow writers in compiling a publishable collection of work. This work will be fully edited, designed, and formatted. Writers will also create an original cover design for their published work.
The Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services has approved the above course.
