Hi everyone. It's Jennifer. Let me ask you something. What are your summer plans?

June, July, and August are typically summer vacation months here in the U.S.

Will you be on vacation for those months?

I plan to continue teaching during the summer, but I'd like to offer a different kind of group course --

22100
6880
00:28
something I've never offered you before,
4
28980
3160
00:32
something helpful, but not too demanding and definitely fun because it's summer!
5
32140

00:40
Have you ever done any kind of creative writing?
6

00:44
You don't have to be able to write a novel to do creative writing. It's just about using your imagination
7
44320
7540
00:51
and finding words to describe what you see in your mind. In short, it's a form of self-expression.
8

01:01
Creative writing challenges the limits of your
9

3920
01:05
vocabulary and grammar. If you're writing creatively in English, you're thinking more in English.
10
65660
6500
01:12
And that's a good thing!
11
72160
3340
01:15
I'd like to invite
12
75500

01:17
intermediate and advanced students to join a creative writing course for the months of June, July, and August.
13
77840
7660
01:26
As I mentioned, it won't be too demanding, but it will be productive and fun.
14

01:33
Students in my creative writing course will receive three tasks. You'll complete one task each month.
15

01:40
I'm going to make sure that you work on those vocabulary skills because each task will combine reading and writing.
16

01:49
You'll read the first part of a story that I've written, and then you will write the ending.
17
109080
6020
01:57
Some students may only write a short paragraph.
18
117000
2630
02:00
Others may write half a page.
19

02:02
You're not going to write a novel. All work will be submitted to me for feedback.
20
122580
6880
02:09
Final versions of the story will be posted and shared on our group discussion board.
21

02:16
This will provide plenty of reading material for you over the summer. You'll learn from one another.
22
136780

02:24
In addition to the three writing tasks, there will be three vocabulary quizzes based on the readings.
23
144260

02:31
Each month, you'll complete a vocabulary quiz at a time that's convenient for you.

Here's the bonus: if I have at least 10 students enrolled in this creative writing course,
25
158640
6140
02:44
I will hold an end-of-the-summer live session where some of these stories can be read aloud.
26
164780

02:52
But more on that later.

Let's review the details. The course will run from June 3rd to August 31st.
28
176200

03:03
Students will complete three creative writing tasks in which they'll write an ending
29
183520
5280
03:08
to three different stories. One story a month.
30
188800
4800
03:13
Completed and revised stories will be shared on the group discussion board.
31

Quizzes and tasks will be shared through a private Facebook group.
32

My personal feedback will be given to every student on every writing assignment.
33
206620

03:34
Again, if I have at least ten students enrolled, there will be an end-of-the-summer live session on Zoom where some of these stories
34

can be read aloud together.
35
222240

03:46
The course fee is $45 USD.
36

03:48
Once I receive your payment via PayPal, I'll invite you to join the private Facebook group.
37

03:56
Keep in mind that a private lesson or one hour of editing is $70, so $45 is a bargain.
