Class Description
You asked for it, you got it! This week-long class will serve as a follow-up to the popular "Structure as Solution" class. In that day-long class, you learned about an array of structures available to the writer of personal essays, and you learned how running the basic content through different structures resulted in very different essays with very different meanings. In that way, we used one spark of an essay idea to generate several different essays. In this class, we'll further explore the relationship between essay structure and essay meaning, how to use structure as a solution for your essay-writing problems, and how to actually get those essays drafted!
Note: you may take this class even if you have not taken "Structure as Solution" with the instructor, but please contact her in advance for some preliminary reading.
