This document provides information for students in a 7th grade creative writing class. It outlines classroom policies such as seeing Mrs. Silveira for seat assignments, being prepared with writing materials, and avoiding mean behavior which will result in fines. The class is divided into two parts, with the first focusing on loosening up with daily writing activities and weekly submissions. The second part tightens up with the same daily and weekly activities, plus writing workshops culminating in a final short story or poetry project worth 100 points. Students will also maintain a creative writing blog.
