Rappin' in Creative Wrilin'. If you were to see the Creative Writ- ing Organization blowing bubbles, eat- ing ice cream, chanting at assemblies, selling popsicles or scrambled eggs and cow brains then you might wonder why they had been made into a class and had started getting grades for it. Well, not only did they do all the above plus put together a book and sell it. They also Creative Writing did the regular classroom activities. They wrote poetry and short stories, they had a large reading list including all of .l.D. Salinger's writings, Slaugh- ter House Five, and the French Lieu- tenant's Woman. They took tests like normal students but the one way in which they were different is that all of them saw the Bananafish.
