| 課程目標 | Over the 18 weeks, all participants in the class will write whatever they want: stories, letters, blog posts, poems, essays. Some may arrive week 1 with a clear idea for their writing. For others, a conversation with fellow writers and with the workshop leader will help develop a writing project. We will play improv games and team building exercises to create an open,fun and supportive environment for all. We will form 3 or 4 person writing teams,sharing, discussing, performing our writing projects. Grammar and spelling are of secondary importance. “Mistakes” are great! Express your ideas and feelings! The technical aspects of writing will be gently addressed afterwards. |
