H332: Creative Writing Workshop in Splash Spring 2021 (Apr. 03 - 04, 2021)
The purpose of this course is to provide a wide array of creative writing experiences. Writing is my passion and it was not until my first year in university when I realized that there was so much more to writing than meets the eye. Rather than learning about the classic literary giants in each field, I would like to introduce students to a diverse set of modern authors who write about relatable problems such as acceptance, social media, racism/sexism/xenophobia. Creative writing is an outlet of expression and I believe this course can help foster the next wave of young writers. The three main creative writing fields I will teach is creative nonfiction, poetry and screenwriting. In each category, I will teach its history, formatting, technical vocabulary and purpose for writing. We will read examples from a wide-array of authors to expand their literary understanding of the world. Then students will have the opportunity to workshop their own pieces in class.
