We all have a story to tell, and in this class we explore and share our stories and others' through writing, discussion, and contemplation. This course goes over different modalities available for written story-telling including: personal essays and ethnographies; memoirs and autobiographies; poetry and creative non-fiction; and others. We will discuss story structure, character, setting, and diction, and work together in response to writing prompts and class discussion to enhance our creative writing abilities. If you have a piece that you are already working on, you will be supported to continue with it.
