🇺🇸 A creative writing course with an American specialist 🇺🇸

To make this happen I had to win a grant, but I did, so you get to take the course for free! 🎉

Tentative syllabus (subject to minor changes):
- Narrative Writing (Dialogue, Monologue, Setting, Character, Figurative Language, Personification, Scene)
- Getting ‘Cozy’ with Crafting Poetry (Ideas, Images/Sensory Details, Sounds, different types of Poems)
- Essay Writing (Personal Statements/Essay with Attitude/Analysis Essay)

Additional topics could be different genres/writing forms (travel writing, TV Scripts) or a more in-depth look at teaching techniques, anchor texts, stylistic devices, etc.

Each unit will include example texts and analysis of literary elements to inspire our own writing. Writing activities will be followed by an in-class Read Around, where we read our drafts to the class, notice what we each did well, and gain inspiration for our writing revision process. Additionally, we will examine the teaching strategies and explore how to adapt to your own teaching contexts. In particular, we will focus on approaches to providing writing feedback to students, the Read Around, and analyzing anchor texts.
