Creative Writing Through Life's Memories

Three-week course, first session

This course is designed to encourage students to express themselves through written texts in Spanish, with the goal to improve their imaginative scope through personal stories (making use of life memories), or through various exercises. Texts written by participants will be shared and would require providing copies for classmates and instructor. Very active group participation is expected. The course aims to improve the tools of written language and stimulate the imagination for accurate expression, through a more rhythmic and precise writing. The teacher will provide samples of artistic solutions to specific writing approaches that will be analyzed by the group. Students are encouraged to provide fragments of a publishing project in mind.

This course is cross-listed with Linguistics.
