Course Description

All writing is creative, including the writing you do for school, internet posts to social media, and text/email messages. Where there was a blank pageā€“virtual or otherwiseā€“and you fill it with your words, you have, in fact, drawn on your intellectual resources to create patterns of meaning with those words.

ā€œCreative writing,ā€ however, generally refers to poetry, fiction, drama, and some forms of non-fictionā€“memoirs and narratives that use the techniques of story-telling.

We will focus on understanding how form and meaning work together and on understanding the types and complexities of each genreā€“notably, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama, and cross-genresā€“so each student can begin to develop their unique, individual voice.
