COURSE DESCRIPTION

ENGL&236 — Creative Writing I  (5 cr)

This course is an introduction to creative writing, with an emphasis on both reading and writing. We’ll do a close study of works of contemporary poetry and fiction to determine how a given work is put together and how writers achieve desired effects. We’ll write a series of poetry exercises and a series of fiction ones, and we’ll devote several classes to sharing each other’s work in progress, both informally and in workshops. Prerequisite: ENGL& 101 or permission of instructor. (SCC, SFCC)
