Creative projects are an integral part of the academic curriculum in language arts. While the subject matter and media of individual projects can be quite individualized, expectations as to the end products and accompanying writing are universal. 

ALL creative projects must be neat, complete, and labeled clearly with an academic heading. Academic headings include student’s name, the date, the course, and a title for the piece.

Large or extensive creative projects must be accompanied by an explanatory essay. This piece of writing includes a description of the artwork, a description of the process of creating the artwork, and finally, a description of the connections between the course material and the artwork.
