Inspiring Empathetic Communicators & Creative Inquirers
Creative Writing Lessons at TEE
Structured, intensive, and all-encompassing, English lessons at TEE cover all examinable components, and aim to equip students with the skills necessary to tackle and ace examinations. Our lessons cover and reinforce these essential skills:
1. Close Guidance and Immediate Feedback
Our teaching philosophy revolves around providing close guidance and immediate feedback. Unlike other centers that return marked scripts after a week, we believe in addressing errors as they occur. This real-time correction process helps students understand and rectify their mistakes on the spot, leading to better retention and improved writing skills.
2. Tailored Teaching Approach
Our classes are designed to build a strong foundation in creative writing through a structured, year-long plan. Each lesson focuses on specific aspects of storytelling, ensuring that students not only grasp essential writing techniques but also apply them effectively. Our teaching plan is designed to provide a comprehensive and progressive approach to creative writing.
3. Core Writing Themes
Throughout the year, students will explore 5 Core Writing Themes:
Mastering Story Structure
Elevating Emotional Elements
Creating Immersive Stories
Enhancing Narrative Impact
Crafting Dynamic Narratives
Each theme focuses on essential aspects of storytelling, ensuring that students build a strong foundation in writing. At the end of each core theme, students sit for a writing assessment based on PSLE-style topics, allowing us to not only effectively track their progress and development, but also provide individualised feedback. This structured approach ensures that students not only improve their writing skills but also gain valuable insights into their growth throughout the year.
4. Effective Writing Techniques
Students learn how to write well-structured and engaging stories that utilise writing techniques such as foreshadowing, characterisation, show-not-tell, and varying sentence structure. Here is an example:
Before utilising writing techniques:
Marcus felt very angry. ”You are not my best friend anymore!” he shouted. He could not believe that James had betrayed him.
After utilising writing techniques:
A hot searing rage swept over Marcus as he thought about what James had done. Clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles whitened, Marcus yelled, “You are not my best friend anymore!” He was absolutely livid. How could James betray him?
