The Writing 101 course is open to 9th through 12th graders. Students are drawn to the course for two reasons: the desire to be a better writer and the need for the personal freedom the class affords. Our school is a large, diverse urban school that houses the School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCAPA). My class is for students who are not enrolled in SCAPA courses, but have a desire to write and think creatively. Students who take the Writing 101 course are looking to have a different writing experience than what they might have in a traditional English class. Our class focuses on blogging, podcasting, and creative forms of writing. In order to cultivate the discipline and thinking for writing, students participate once a week in Genius Hour. During their Genius Hour experiences students learn how to manage a project, collaborate with other students, research , present to audiences other than the teacher, and manage their time.
