How do we express ourselves in a creative and original way?

This course is designed for those who enjoy writing creatively and want to develop and to improve this skill as they produce a number of original poems, short stories, and essays in a technology rich environment. Through free writing exercises, published models, and class critique, students will examine voice, word choice, imagery, and the creative presentation of an idea. Students will be assessed through the writing they produce, class participation and final portfolio which will serve as their final exam.
