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 grounded in imagination, as students learn to craft fiction.
Utilizing workshop and writing group techniques, students work to develop their writing skills, and produce a variety of work that reflects exposure to short stories, plays, poetry, and experimental genres. 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.
