English

In this 8-week course, students will read the novel "Elantris" by Brandon Sanderson, study Sanderson's techniques and use/subversion of classic fantasy tropes, and write and edit their own fantasy story. 

Come join us to read "Elantris" by Brandon Sanderson, learn from him in a series of awesome lectures, and write your own fantasy story. 

In this introductory lesson we will explore the plot structure of our featured novel, "Elantris." We will also be introducing the idea of architects vs gardeners and prewriting.

Getting Started

Based on the videos that the student's have watched as part of their homework, we will begin exploring the intricacies of plot structure as a creative writer.  We will review the section of Elantris that we read and review the each young writer's pre-writing. 

Story Structure

Based on the videos that the students have watched as part of their homework, we will begin exploring the importance and limitations of world building in the genres of speculative fiction.  We will also analyize the world building of "Elantris" as well as the students' own worldbuilding. 

World Building

Based on the videos that the students have watched as part of their homework we will explore Sanderson's Three Laws of Magic and discuss how students will chose to build the magic systems for their short stories.

Magic

 Based on the videos that the students have watched as part of their homework we will be exploring the building blocks and arcs that make up great characters.  Students will also discuss their own main characters and arcs as well as the arcs of each of the three main characters in Elantris. 

Characters

Prior to the class meeting all students will read their classmates' work and prepare to give and receive constructive feedback on their stories.  This can be a nerve-wracking lesson as receiving feedback is challenging at every level.  However, students frequently choose this as the most useful lesson each semester. 

Workshopping

In this lesson we will be exploring the process that authors go through to edit and prepare manuscripts for publication.  We will also finish up discussing the plot, characters, and worldbuilding of "Elantris."

Self-Editing

Students will present their manuscripts, and we will review the material in the course and look towards our future endeavors in creative writing.
