During the course students will improve upon their skills as a writer, learning how to identify and fix common writing problems such as issues with pacing, plot, character development, dialogue, and sentence structure. In addition, they will learn how to workshop with their peers, give constructive criticism, and use feedback to revise their work.
By the end of the course students will have a completed portfolio showcasing their abilities as a writer.

提供的家庭作業
This class requires a fair amount of work done outside of class, as a brick and mortar class would. Works produced should be short-form writing, such as short stories (maximum 3,000 words/10 pages), flash fiction, or poetry.

Students will need to write outside of class each week, and submit their work before their assigned deadline. 
Students are also responsible for reading their classmates' work once uploaded to Google Drive, and recording feedback. 
Class time will be spent sharing this feedback and workshopping the piece to work out anything that needs to be revised. 

Starting in Week 9, students should begin revising their work outside of class, using the feedback that was given to them when their writing was workshopped. 

On the last day of class, completed portfolios will be due, and students will have a chance to discuss the class and their favorite story they produced. 
2 - 4 每週課外時間
提供的評估
Students will send their completed portfolios to me at the end of the course for evaluation, and I will then give each student a personalized informal assessment of their work, their revisions, and their overall progress over the 12 weeks.
