What is place? How does it impact storytelling? In this course, students explore the concept of place as both an internal and external factor that influences writing. Students will examine the importance of the writer's identity, or place, and how it can shape the physical space and characters within a story. Students will be expected to represent elements of voice, tone, atmosphere, point of view, and time through creative writing exercises that emphasize descriptive environments. They will also be expected to read their peers' writing, and use constructive criticism to provide supportive feedback.
