Self-examination, reflection, and observation are essential to the craft of writing. The sharing of the self allows stories to impact others. The work that students produce in this course is based on personal experience.
This course immerses students in the written and spoken word, develops their writing skills, and produces a variety of work that reflects exposure to short stories, plays, poetry, memoirs, and experimental genres, all with a non-fiction focus. Through free- writing exercises and journaling, students articulate and explore their feelings in response to prompts that touch upon a wide range of beliefs and experiences.
