Students develop skills in close critical and creative reading comprehension and the application of literary techniques by analyzing classic and contemporary literary works. Through developmental exercises on creative writing techniques, writing workshops, and peer review, students practice discerning the elements of writing craft and developing skills for creating image, voice, character, setting, and structure. Students also learn how to employ grammatical, linguistic, and stylistic conventions appropriate for compositions in each genre.
