We will also learn the fundamentals of writing short stories, poetry, playwriting, graphic novels, and other short writing exercises depending on student interest. Students will receive direct instruction and see strong examples of each form of writing. Then students will have time to work on their pieces and receive individualized feedback from the instructor as they write. Finally, all students will participate in workshopping by reading their pieces aloud and receiving helpful feedback from peers. By the end of the course, students will have a strong college essay as well as a small booklet of other original works.
