Creative Writing

For my Creative Writing class we have to write a short story, I really want to write some thing along the lines of Columbine, but I’m worried about the reaction of my teacher. As far as I know, he has no personal history with the idea, but … I don’t know. What would you want to see out of a short story for a creative writing class?

I’ll be teaching a creative writing class this summer to a group of 11-14 year-olds. I have experience teaching writing (mostly poetry) to adults, but teaching kids will be new territory. Does anyone have some great tips, websites, resources for exercises, and reading materials for this age group? Thanks!

I have a school project for my creative writing class that requires a writing portfolio, but I have no clue how to make one. I never really understood what a portfolio was. If someone could help out, it’d be wonderful.

I’ve been interested in taking an online creative writing class for months now. I know that Mediabistro.com offers them as well as writingclasses.com. My problem is finding the funding for these acclaimed programs. I wonder if anyone knows of finacial aid for classes like these?

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated
