Creative Writing: Primary 2 to 6
Imagine leaving your child, a complete novice, with a pantry of expensive ingredients, fancy kitchen equipment, a recipe book filled with dazzling pictures and telling them, “Now, cook!” What an insurmountable task, you would say? Unfortunately, this is the “formula” adopted by many enrichment centres.
Creative writing is not about giving children impressive looking lists of bombastic words and phrases. Nor is it about getting them to memorize “modal” compositions. Doing so simply snuffs out any remaining interest your child may have in writing.
Composition writing can be a scary, daunting task for many children. Especially for those uninitiated ones who have not been guided purposefully.
Our program is highly structured. Through a systematic process of specialized techniques and methods, we teach the essential steps of story writing. Creativity and fun are equally important elements in our classrooms. While engaged in learning, we have tons of fun and laughter! Seriously, tons of it.
Highlights of our program include:
Content Development
·       Stimulate imagination and encourage creativity through brain-storming, video-clips, higher order thinking and critical thinking strategies.
·       Tools to construct unusual plot twists and develop story lines.
·       Themes are pegged to current affairs and general knowledge. Apply freshly gained knowledge to add value and depth to story lines.
Language Expression
·       Learn animated words, phrases, proverbs, word substitution in context.
·       Effectively craft openings and endings.
·       Master essential scenario description and gripping climax buildup.
·       Re-enactment / role play of scenes through our unique “Lights, Camera, Action!” sequence.
