What is this class?
This class is about every aspect of storytelling and creative writing from worldbuilding to story structure; from the experience of characters to how events are narrated; from the branching meaning of words to their shape on the page and sounds read aloud; from the act of writing to reading to rewriting. Each 5 week block focuses on a small collection of concepts and exercises designed to assist you in taking the next step in finding and telling your story. Advanced topics draw ideas from psychology and linguistics.
What do you do in this class?
S:iiiL classes are built around a philosophy of inquisitive, integrated, and immersive learning. Classes are designed specifically for you, based on your ability and interests, to support you in your learning goals.
In Creative Writing, this can take the form of class discussions, group and individual writing exercises, reading examples, drawing story structures, playing story games, learning how to give kind and constructive critiques, and facilitating self-directed learning. We create a supportive environment without coercion, testing, or the risk of failure.
