Spring 2010 Introduction to Creative Nonfiction
English 400 (Advanced Expository Writing) #32671R 2-4:20 p.m. Wednesday
Introduction to Creative Nonfiction introduces the creative writing student to the art of the personal essay and memoir. In a workshop setting, students learn how to employ standard literary techniques such as characterization, dramatization, conflict, dialogue, setting and symbolic language to tell stories that are true on a small scale and relate as well to larger, more enduring themes. By reading a variety of texts that use literary devices to tell a story, through the use of writing exercises, and by writing personal essays themselves, students will be encouraged to broaden their stylistic methods, their choices for the stories they tell, and their approaches to structuring their own lived experiences. It is the aim of the course for these strategies to inform the students’ writing of both fiction and poetry as they continue on to other creative writing classes.
