CREATIVE WRITING TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM – LEVEL 2

Wishlist Share

About Course

Designed for educators teaching Grades 6 and above, this programme builds on the foundations of Level 1. It equips teachers to guide students beyond simple stories and formula-based compositions towards writing with greater depth, clarity and purpose.

Across six modules, you will explore narrative writing; grammar, style and literary devices; personal and reflective writing; logical and analytical writing; and real-world forms such as blogs, reports, profiles and proposals. You will learn how to help students develop ideas, make deliberate language choices, support their opinions with evidence and adapt their writing for different audiences.

The final module brings these skills into the classroom. You will learn to sequence writing skills across lessons, use mentor texts and modelling, guide drafting and revision, and give feedback using clear assessment criteria. By the end of the program, you will be able to design writing experiences that help students in Grades 6 and above express themselves with confidence across different curricula.

This module takes narrative writing beyond the simple beginning, middle and end introduced in Level 1. Using a simplified Hero’s Journey, you will learn how to guide students through each stage of a story: an opening, the ordinary world, a call to adventure, rising challenges, a peak moment, change and resolution. You will explore five opening styles, use observation and sensory detail to establish a believable world, and help students create challenges that raise the stakes. You will also examine how a story’s peak leads to a change in knowledge, emotion or relationships, and how different endings affect the reader. By the end of the module, you will be able to model a complete narrative arc and help students develop one stage at a time.

Module 1 focused on building a complete narrative. This module examines the language choices that shape how readers experience that story. You will explore how point of view controls what a narrator can know, how tense places the reader in time, and how verbs and sentence choices affect clarity, pace and intensity. You will also learn to teach dialogue that reveals character and moves a scene forward. The module covers natural speech, action beats, subtext and punctuation. You will then explore literary devices, including comparison, foreshadowing, repetition and hyperbole, and consider where each device adds meaning or impact. Throughout the module, you will apply these choices to writing examples. By the end, you will be able to help students in Grades 6 and above revise a piece for stronger voice, clearer action and more deliberate use of literary devices.

Personal writing begins with a real experience and explores why it matters. In this module, you will learn to guide students in selecting meaningful experiences, shaping them into clear pieces of writing and developing an authentic personal voice. You will explore three forms. A personal narrative focuses on one significant moment and the change it brings. Reflective writing examines an experience or belief to show how the writer’s thinking develops. A memoir connects several experiences from a phase of life through a shared theme. Across all three, you will consider how to balance scenes, emotions and insight while staying truthful to the experience. By the end of the module, you will be able to help students in Grades 6 and above choose the form that suits their idea, organise real experiences with purpose and move beyond describing events to explaining what they came to understand.

This module develops two connected forms of writing: opinion writing and analytical or research-based writing. You will learn how to help students move from an initial idea to a clear position or a well-supported conclusion. In opinion writing, students will learn to take a stand, develop reasons, use relevant examples and respond to other perspectives. In analytical writing, they will examine a question, identify patterns and causes, assess evidence and consider alternative explanations before reaching a conclusion. You will explore practical ways to generate ideas and organise both forms without losing the thinking behind them. By the end of the module, you will be able to guide students in Grades 6 and above to ask stronger questions, explain their reasoning and support what they write with appropriate evidence.

Writing changes when someone needs to read it, understand it and respond. A student might share an experience with peers, recommend an idea to a school leader, request information by email or prepare a notice for a wider audience. Each situation calls for different details, language and structure. In this module, you will learn to teach writing for real audiences and practical purposes. You will explore four purposes: writing to connect, persuade, request and inform. You will also examine how these skills apply to formats such as blogs, captions, reviews, proposals, emails, notices and reports, as well as travel and profile writing. Throughout the module, you will use five planning questions: Who is the audience? What is the purpose? What tone is appropriate? Where will the writing appear? What should the reader understand or do next? These questions will help you guide students towards writing that is clear, engaging and useful. 𝗕𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼: • Design writing tasks with a defined audience and purpose. • Teach students to adapt tone, content and structure across formats. • Help students write to connect, persuade, request and inform. • Guide students to select essential details and state a clear next step. • Support students in creating travel and profile pieces for readers. • Assess whether a piece achieves its intended communication goal. The module will equip you to move students from “write about this topic” to “write this message for this reader, for this reason”.

A strong writing programme gives students time to learn a skill, practise it with support, apply it in different genres and improve their work through revision. In this final module, you will bring together the approaches covered throughout Creative Writing Level 2 and turn them into a clear teaching sequence. The module uses the presentation’s 24-week roadmap as an adaptable planning model. You will examine how to move students through four stages: building foundations, developing control over writing choices, applying skills across genres, and producing a revised portfolio. You will also consider where opinion, analytical and real-world writing fit within the sequence developed in this programme. The focus is on your decisions as an educator: what to teach first, how to build on earlier learning, what students should produce, and how to use feedback to help them progress

This final quiz brings together the concepts and teaching approaches covered across all six modules. It will help you check how confidently you can recognise effective writing choices and apply them when planning lessons, reviewing student work and giving feedback to learners in Grade 6 and above. The quiz includes knowledge questions and classroom-based scenarios. You may be asked to identify a suitable writing structure, choose evidence that supports a claim, select feedback for a student draft or decide how to sequence writing activities. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘇 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 • Narrative structure, scene development, character and meaningful endings. • Grammar, style and the purposeful use of literary devices. • Personal narrative, memoir and reflective writing. • Opinion and analytical writing, including reasons, evidence and conclusions. • Real-world writing for different audiences, purposes and formats. • Curriculum sequencing, feedback, revision and portfolio development. Approach each question as an educator. Consider what the student is trying to communicate, what their reader needs and which teaching response would help the student take the next step.
