ENGL 110 - Reading Like a Writer


3 Credit(s) | Lecture | 
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
Students will learn to understand, use, and refine the techniques used by creative writers. Through weekly readings and discussion, students will become acquainted with how individual works of literature produce their effects, focusing not so much on what a piece means, but how meaning is made. Classic and contemporary examples of the genres of poetry and fiction will be studies with the goal of understanding the ways writers imagine elements of language, structure, and process to create a fully developed work. Class work will include in-class writing, examinations, creative-writing assignments, and attendance at one poetry or fiction reading during the semester with the goal of producing a final portfolio of creative work.
