Good News and Big Plans and Help Wanted

I know it's December, but I received some awesome news about this upcoming summer. Finding employment for a teaching during the summer usually means one of two things; serving tables or teaching summer school. This year I'm able to teach what I've been waiting to teach since I was a junior in high school (eleven years ago!!). Our school received a grant to provide students with summer classes they can earn credits for. The classes are 2.5 hours long, and there is little prep time available. I am already planning curriculum for my creative writing course! After chatting with members of my department and figuring out I am one of the only ones available and interested in teaching this course... I got it . I am working on my course catalog blurb. So... writers and teachers and anyone else... do you have some ideas? What will work with students in 9th-12th grade? How can I use this short time wisely? What advice have you received from someone about your writing? What can they study? Who should we read?
