Abstract

Abstract: This research addresses creative writing as a technique to improve writing competence in second-year high school students at the Giovanni Antonio Farina Educational Unit. It identifies the main dimensions of writing competence: coherence, cohesion, appropriateness, grammatical correctness, and expressiveness. A mixed-methods approach is used, employing student surveys and teacher interviews, revealing that creative writing fosters the organization of ideas, motivation, and personal expression. The planned activities included techniques such as narration, poetry, screenwriting, autobiography, microfiction, and prose poetry, proving to be effective and motivating. The results show that a high percentage of students recognize improvements in their writing thanks to these strategies. Furthermore, the teacher interviewed positively valued creative writing as a pedagogical tool within her class time. Consequently, the techniques applied not only strengthen writing skills, but also critical thinking and effective communication. The research proposes a guide as a resource to continue applying these strategies in the classroom and strengthen writing skills.
