The Writing Workshop Program
Two separate sessions of three weeks each provide writing assignments in description, narration, argumentation and exposition. Papers grow from rough draft to clean copy to revised piece from suggestions for revision from class members and the instructor, who holds at least two formal conferences with each student as well as after-class sessions as necessary. Creative assignments grow from a memory and from a response to a painting or a photograph; expository assignments stem from reading poems, plays, short fiction and essays. Interesting, clear, persuasive writing is the goal of each of the eight or so papers. Class consists of reading and assessing each others' work, dramatic readings and writing exercises, as well as necessary attention to grammar. Workshop members present an oral report at the last class meeting on a short novel suggested by the instructor or from a required reading list or some other source. Grades are pass/fail on all work.
