ENG 125-04 Course Description

This course enables students to hone skills in writing creatively within the genres of nonfiction, poetry, and fiction. Over the semester, you’ll acquire essential tools for telling your stories — for choosing effective “form(s)” and language for the ideas, visions and emotions you wish to communicate. Students will draft, workshop, and revise three pieces of writing over the course of the semester, one each in the genres of creative nonfiction, poetry, and fiction.

Class learning includes participation in “workshop” sessions in which student work is read aloud and critiqued in a group setting. There will also be in-class writing exercises and discussions about process and revision. Students will be assigned to breakout groups for small group discussion during the week [all groups listed in the ENG 125-04 S’24 Shared Google Drive  and will have particular responsibility for providing in- depth peer evaluations of the drafts of the other students in their breakout group at specified moments in the term. All students will also be expected to supply comments on shorter pieces-in-process posted on ENG 125-04 S'24 Word-Press by all the students in the course.

Assigned readings on craft will introduce, exemplify and enhance your understanding of particular aspects of craft and technique within the three genres of our focus. And because all serious writers learn the most important writerly lessons from masterful examples, we’ll also examine each genre through a variety of readings exemplifying practice within each genre.
