Diverse writing formats including fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and drama are explored throughout the session. We employ engaging writing prompts to help spark the flow of expression within specific time frames. The goal is to turn off the inner editor to get ideas and thoughts down as spontaneously as possible. Writing instructors and students (usually a 1:8 ratio or smaller) provide constructive feedback to help guide revision. Fiction…..Students learn about the basic elements of fiction: plot, character, setting, and theme with a particular focus on conflict development, voice, point-of-view, and dialogue. Poetry…..Students write narrative, free verse, and formal poetry including sestina, sonnet, villanelle, and rondeau. They learn poetry terms as well as patterns of rhythm and rhyme. Creative Nonfiction….. This genre is about real experiences and events using fictive elements like conflict, setting, dialogue, developed characters, and a plotline. It is the most popular form of literature outselling fiction 10:1. Drama…..Just like any story, a play must have a beginning, middle & end. Students work on a one-act play and are taught the nine elements of playwriting including— dramatic conflict, strategies for dealing with the conflict, logical behavior, cause & effect, plot obstacles, forward action, developed character arc, and theatricality.
