EDP, H, IL- This English course introduces students to the craft of creative writing in a generative workshop setting. Each week students will write short informal pieces that explore character, voice, point of view, image, and form across genres. Students will also read a wide variety of short fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction to discover how different writers employ specific techniques and to examine the role of creative writing in different cultures and their own lives. Weekly writing in response to prompts and significant class time spent workshopping drafts and experimenting with different lenses for revision will be required. Students will also be required to attend at least one event such as a public reading or gallery visit outside of class.
