WRIT8353-01.Creative & Critical Writing: 2.F13.Krebs,Kelly

In this semester-long intensive seminar, students build upon their knowledge of the craft and process of writing. They can choose to focus on the picture book, the novel (middle-grade or young adult), poetry, nonfiction, or a combination. Each month students do the following: (1) they complete assigned reading, annotated bibliographies, short reflective essays, and writing exercises that explore issues of craft; (2) they do extensive creative writing and revision in response to detailed feedback from faculty advisors; (3) and they write and revise a ten-page, research-based essay on issues of craft or topics of interest that arose from their own creative work or from assigned reading
