This class is an integral part of The Writers Studio approach to creative writing. By learning how to read fiction and poetry as writers, students begin to recognize narrative techniques. The purpose of this class is to help students discover how literary writers have achieved their artistic goals.
LEARN TO READ AS A WRITER. What does this mean? As you read from an exciting mix of contemporary and classic fiction and poetry, you learn to recognize the various techniques writers used to create personas different from themselves and achieve their literary goals. You also learn how to apply these techniques to your own writing and find the one best suited to your needs in order to achieve complete emotional connection. The Writers Studio's Craft Class is a nine-week program that can be taken in conjunction with a workshop or alone.
The Writers Studio KW provides creative fiction and poetry workshops to high school students living in Brooklyn.
