"This course introduces creative writing through the practices of writing, reading and collaborative critical response. We will work with poetry, fiction and multimedia texts (which include performance writing, graphic novels, artist books and electronic word art). Each unit is designed to foster skills in language and creativity that can be applied beyond the given genre and beyond the classroom. In particular, we will work towards greater understanding and control of language's material presence, its referential power, and the relationships between content, form and reception. Students will be introduced to a range of composition processes intended to stimulate frequent and adventurous writing, and will be encouraged to make disciplined and inventive use of the revision process. They will also develop their abilities to create and participate in a fertile writing community."
School starts tomorrow!
