Creative Writing Introduction
Advice for Success: Top 10 List
After years of teaching online English courses, I have compiled a top ten list for success in the course... here goes...
#1: Communication. Read the messages your teacher sends. Email or message back right away when you have questions. Don't get stuck.
#2: Read the assignment details AND the criteria in the rubric before submitting your work.
#3: Use the provided graphic organizers to brainstorm and organize your work. No one writes a perfect first draft.
#4: Proofread and then edit AGAIN before you submit your work.
#5: Start your novel study (the final section) right away. Do NOT leave this till the last minute.
#6: Collaborate with friends either online or face-to-face. Ask for advice.
#7: Use the material in the course to help you. Click on the hyperlinks. They are there for you.
#8: Develop a plan for completion. Everybody needs deadlines.
#9: Did I say start your novel study right away? I can't really emphasize that more.
#10: Communicate!! Seriously, ask lots of questions. If you want to do a different type of assignment or question, you only need ask. Choice is an important part of English Language Arts 10.
