The Art of the Personal Narative

Catalog description

Everybody has a story, and our lives provide fertile ground for writing and storytelling. This course will use first person and personal experience -- in the form of essay writing, blogging, narrative journalism and photography -- to improve storytelling skills, build writing proficiency and stamina and analyze and deconstruct contemporary writers. Students will share their work in a supportive and constructive workshop environment as they build confidence and explore self-expression through writing.
