“In the end, we’ll all become stories,” says Margaret Atwood. As such, it is essential that we understand the power of narrative and how to craft our own stories. This course explores various forms of narrative, including prose, oral traditions, scripts, and verse. Through close readings of exemplary works and hands-on writing exercises, students will gain an understanding of how to craft engaging narratives that capture the human experience in a variety of contexts. Topics covered will include narrative structure, theme and/or main idea, point of view, voice, and an exploration of how these elements are synthesized to maximize emotional, intellectual, and creative impact.
