Abstract: This study observes the development of student’s writing skills when exposed to creative writing, and how the focus solely in prose creative writing influences the areas of adequacy, cohesion, coherence, lexicon, morphosyntax and spelling. Three classes of 4º de ESO Spanish-Catalan students were split into two experimental groups and one control group, and the two experimental groups engaged in creative writing sessions.
