플래시 픽션 101: 새로운 창의적 글쓰기 스타일을 시도해 보세요!

Do you love writing stories? Are you looking to start something new? If so, then this class is for you! 

What are Flash Fictions? 
Flash Fictions are a type of story writing. They touch on every aspect of a story arc, but with significantly fewer words. Given this, they push writers to work on their vocabulary and word work, while also building their story writing ability. 

Who is this class for? 
This class is open to creative writers who are excited about learning something new. Specifically, this class is great for short story writers who are looking to expand their skill set or poets who are looking to try writing stories. If your student does not fit into these categories, that's okay! As long as they understand what a story arc is-i.e. exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, conclusion-they will be able to enjoy this class and follow the material. 

What will be covered in this class?
In this class, we will talk about what a flash fiction is, the skills needed to write them, and look at some examples of published flash fictions. Then, we will look at several daily exercises for the student's journals, to help them practice writing flash fictions. Next, we will complete a multi-part writing exercise to walk the students through writing their own flash fictions. Finally, we will edit those flash fictions. Our goal is to complete this class with every student having a finished flash fiction and a whole bag of new skills! See a breakdown below for a tentative schedule of this class.

First Class: We will cover the mechanics of writing a flash fiction. 

Second class: We will finish any material we did not finish in the first class. Then, we will move on to completing the writing exercise. 

Third: We will finish the writing exercise and edit the completed pieces.
