This course provides students with the opportunity to explore storytelling through two of its most popular mediums: film and literature. Students will examine basic principles of storytelling; point of view, voice, rhythm, character and plot development, theme, symbols and how those principles are represented differently or correspondingly in each form. Students will be expected to use analytical skills to dissect stories and recreate their essence through a number of creative writing exercises. They will also be expected to read their peers' writing and use constructive criticism to provide supportive feedback.
