CREATIVE WRITING SEMINAR

5/2.5 Credits         Full/Semester      Multi-level         Prerequisite: None

Are you working on a novel? A book of poems? Song lyrics? A play? Would you like to learn more about the craft of creative writing so that your words will make others laugh and cry and sing and more? Then this seminar in creative writing is for you. While readings will be assigned, copies of student work will form the basis for most class discussions. At the end of each semester we will sponsor a coffeehouse public reading of student work. This public exhibition of student writing, plus a self-selected portfolio of student work, will serve as the midterm / final exam. This course may fulfill one or two semesters of the English 12 core requirement for seniors only. For more information please see Mr. Sharkovitz’s website.
