Escritura creativa: ironía

There's nothing ironic about how fun this class is! We will use interesting (and silly) examples to discuss the different forms of irony (dramatic, situational, and verbal) and then apply that knowledge to our own writings. 

So while we'll examine Guy de Maupassant's "The Necklace" and Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet," we'll also talk about a gardener who kills all his plants, a ghost who is terrified of his own shadow, a dentist who can't stand teeth, a fire station that burns down, and plenty of other intriguing situations. 

Interspersed with the instruction is plenty of involvement from the learners. They'll be doing plenty of writing (through chat or reading their own creations out loud) during class. After class, they are welcome to submit their assignment for instructor feedback.
