ENG1141 Creative Writing, FA2020
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 pageâvirtual or otherwiseâand you fill it with your words, you have, in fact, drawn on your intellectual resources to create patterns of meaning with those words. âCreative writing,â however, generally refers to poetry, fiction, drama, and some forms of non-fictionâmemoirs 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 genreânotably, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, drama, and cross-genresâso each student can begin to develop their unique, individual voice.

English 1121 builds upon the practices and skills that students learn in the first-semester course by reinforcing writing practices.

Students will begin to see themselves as writers in the public eye and members of various communities, not just students writing for academic situations.
