ONLINE: This course invites students to explore the art of storytelling from multiple perspectives. Each two-week block will focus on writing a 500- to 750-word short story, followed by rewriting the same or a similar story from a different angle. For example, in the first week, students could write in the first-person perspective, then, in the second week, they could switch to third person. Stories could explore the same event — like a ballgame — from opposing viewpoints, or, more creatively, from a human's perspective one week and from an animal’s the next. Students can experiment with fiction and nonfiction, finding new surprises in each retelling. Each piece will be submitted to the instructor a day and a half before class, then shared with the group for review and discussion. After each class, the instructor will provide written feedback on the stories. A computer and computer skills are required. Access to a printer will be helpful. | Facilitated discussion.
Max enrollment: 9.
