WRIT 1500 - Introduction to Creative Writing
Goals: This course is open to all students interested in creative writing. Students are introduced to the practice of writing and reading as creative writers in three genres: poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. They also begin to develop a writing practice.
Content: The primary text, Janet Burroway’s Imaginative Writing, gives guidance in creative process and writing skills across genres; supplemental anthologies or texts may be added at the instructor’s discretion. Students engage critically and creatively with texts as writers, participate in class discussions, and begin to develop a writing practice. Emphasis is on developing an awareness of the diverse social contexts in which writers write and readers read. The course combines lecture, discussion, readings in and across genres, weekly writing exercises, and other assignments.
