Welcome to Creative Writing!
This course emphasizes the writing of fiction and non-fiction pieces to broaden your understanding of the world of the writer. This is a student-centered course in which we will collaborate with each other to explore the world of creativity. By the conclusion of the semester you will have read, analyzed, discussed and debated a variety of texts to expand your knowledge of the term “creative” as it applies to the art of writing. You will also leave with a multitude of original pieces of creative work that you may take with you on your future endeavors. This course is meant to invigorate, challenge and inspire you. I hope you have some fun!
Essential Questions:
- What does it mean to be “creative”, especially in writing?
- How can different forms of writing inspire the creative impulse?
- Is creating an act or a habit?
- Is inspiration overrated?
