Memoir in Progress II - Remote!
325.00
Topics will include the following:
• Finding your story arc/through-line and central question
* The opening hook and inciting incident
* Creating compelling scenes and climactic moments
* Scene, context, and sense of place
• Finding a balance between scene, summary, and musing
Students will have 2-3 opportunities to share short (2-3 page excerpts) of their work in class, and will complete a series of in-class writing exercises focusing on the building blocks of memoir. In addition, students can submit up to 12 pages during the course for instructor feedback.
This class will be hosted using live Zoom meetings! You will be able to participate in class via Zoom videoconference from wherever you’re most comfortable. All you’ll need is a laptop or a phone! About 15 minutes before your class is scheduled to begin, you'll receive an email from your instructor with a link to join the class meeting via Zoom–no need to download anything or sign up for Zoom in advance! If you have questions about remote learning, please feel free to reach out to [email protected] for more information.
For a glimpse at how remote learning works, look no further than the deep Zoom discussion of writing and literature below:
