Students will read as models a judicious sampling of stories by authors such as Edgar Allen Poe, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Truman Capote, and others as selected by the professor in order to build a vocabulary for analyzing aspects of storytelling such as plot, story arc, characterization, dialogue, meaningful detail, and story pacing. Using guided writing exercises and journaling, students will develop ideas from these sources to create original fiction for a series of in-class workshops. Students will critique, and be critiqued by, the entire class, in order to revise their stories.
