This course will introduce students to the genre of fiction.  Students in this course will explore the craft techniques associated with writing short stories, including narrative structure, characterization, setting, point-of-view, imagery and theme.  With these in mind, students will imitate contemporary short stories and invent and revise their own.  Furthermore, this course will be an intensive study of fiction and the writing processes associated with it.  The class will be conducted as a writer’s workshop, in which students share their work and comment on that of their classmates.
