Short Narratives is a course for those who wish to create powerful narratives of various genres based on their experience levels.  Students will explore a different genre each week and use their creative juices to design an engaging plot in thirty - minutes.  The remaining ten minutes is a time for sharing your text with other students if desired.  

I will provide and present a different genre for 12 class sessions.  During a brief discussion, I will explain the genre and provide an example (for some genres)  which will allow students to pose any questions needed for clarification before they write.  Additionally, I will provide ideas that can be used to begin their text if they are unsure about what to write.   Please check listing  periodically because the genres can change from time-to-time.
