CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
43372	Lecture-Discussion	D	11:00AM -12:15PM	MW	303 English Building	Price, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/16-05/04/16 Section Title: Trauma Writing Section Info: Topic Section D: Trauma Writing This creative nonfiction writing workshop will focus on writing about topics that are, for various reasons, difficult to approach. “Trauma” in the context of this course can refer to any formidable life event that has caused you personal upheaval, or simply a topic you have found especially difficult to write about. This could include family crises and the dynamics surrounding them, bothersome meaning-of-life questions (which would include pretty much all of them), or any challenging topic you’ve written about before, but that you came away from with the distinct feeling that you did not do it justice on the page and/or you schlocked it up with clichés. Students will decide which pieces they wish to share with the class.

Have you always wanted to write for younger children? Do you enjoy reading children’s books? Then join us for a fast-paced workshop in picture book narratives. Students will use traditional forms (cumulative stories, anaphoric structure, poetry, and others) to write picture book narratives for preschool through third grade. This is not an art class. You won’t draw pictures! You’ll do something even better: write the text.
64203	Lecture-Discussion	SQ	12:30PM -1:45PM	MW	125 English Building	Qashou, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/16-05/04/16 Section Title: Satire/Comedy Writing Section Info: Topic Section SQ: Satire/Comedy Writing Workshop Students will practice various forms and genres of satire and comedy writing. We will examine the use of humor to deliver an idea or to criticize political, social, or cultural phenomena. Humor in writing can provide an alternative perspective and can be employed to make people laugh, think, possibly cry and perhaps change their perception of reality, at least till the next newscast.
47058	Lecture-Discussion	WC	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	243 Armory	Coyoca, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/16-05/04/16 Section Title: Creative Writ Marginal People Section Info: Topic: Creative Writing for Marginalized People. This course is a creative writing workshop designed particularly for writers of color, but also inclusive of writers from other marginalized and oppressed groups. Students will turn in either narrative fiction or creative non-fiction stories to be critiqued by their peers. The workshop will be a safe space in which writers can explore and develop their craft in an atmosphere of support and understanding, where writers can get feedback from each other, and where writers can be empowered to continue to write about the stories they feel are important and necessary. In this class we will examine the relationship between form and content, stories and politics. In addition to sharing your own creative pieces with each other, you will also read and discuss stories by published writers.
