IN PERSON: In this course, students learn how to craft engaging personal essays that resonate with readers — whether through humor, through poignancy or by sparking curiosity — much like the stories in "Chicken Soup for the Soul." Throughout the course, students explore how to transform everyday experiences into compelling narratives suitable for publication in venues such as newspapers, magazines, anthologies and newsletters. Each week, students write a 300-word nonfiction story based on an assigned theme. Class discussions focus on what works and what doesn’t in each narrative. Designed for aspiring writers, this course helps students hone their skills while teaching them how to tell a story that has a beginning, a middle and an end. Students need pen and paper for each class. | Facilitated discussion.
