This class will guide participants through the process of expanding a short pithy saying into an elegant story which builds to a punchline. In the Progymnasmata syllabus, this composition exercise is referred to as a 'Chreia' - of which there are a number of forms. This is an introductory toe-in-the-water approach to the genre. We start with a well-known saying drawn from modern, early modern, early, or antique times - and the models will differ across different sections for this class. Through a dialogic process, participants are encouraged to form their own ideas of who might have said these words, when, in what context, to whom, and why. The class covers three composition exercises - modelled, guided, then individually worked, covering three key storytelling elements: action, description, and feeling. Participants will be encouraged to share all or some of their compositions, and at the end, I'll share the original context from which the saying became known. Participants will be encouraged to develop their work further through illustration, book art, and digital presentation. The class is deliberately limited in numbers to allow maximum opportunity within a group class setting for participants to receive individual attention and to be able to share their work with others and learn from their peers.

Metas de aprendizaje
Participants will learn about the chreia genre, and increase their awareness of its history, of some of the forms it took, and of how and why it was used for so long in the progymnasmata syllabus.They will develop writing skills that include description, action, dialogue, and emotive use of words, and explore opportunities to use a variety of prose styles, illustration, and presentation of their work.

Lista de útiles escolares
Participants will need a standard stationery kit (writing implements, ruler, paper, eraser), and drawing tools (drawing pens, coloured pens or paints, or supplies relating to any other form of artwork they wish to use to illustrate or create their fable, e.g. paper crafting, felt work, embroidery, paper sculpture, or animation). They will need access to a scanner or camera to submit digital scans or photos of work, and an over-ear gaming-type set of headphones with built-on microphone and a noise-cancelling feature is recommended for best audio quality for communication in classes. Please note that unless students have a very good reason not to have their video on during class, I expect students to be visible and participate actively in classes I teach. The digital classroom is a social space shaped by our intentions and our activity - and I encourage participants to actively build the kind of space they feel comfortable in, and to actively work on creating a space in which others can also feel comfortable being and acting in. Outschool does provide a 'verification' system for those who have good reasons not to participate visually, and I will respect and support that fully. Please consult https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/4063624-learner-verification for further information and contact 'verification@outschool.com' at least a week before the start of your first class to allow time for the verification process to be completed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
