ENGL 200.J10     CREATIVE WRITING, VOICE, AND COMMUNITY     WEB ASYNC     BARILLA
Creative Writing, Voice, and Community is an introduction to writing as a form of social engagement, in which we will consider the ways our own aesthetic choices engage with the world. The course assignments will explore questions of self-discovery and community and reflect on the development of a personal aesthetic or artistic style. In addition to creating work of our own through exercises and assignments, we will read and analyze outside texts as models. We will also become accustomed to describing and helping further the development of our classmates’ writing, the ultimate goal being the creation of a workshop community in which everyone feels able to take risks in their writing. This course fulfills both VSR and AIU requirements.

Topics of exploration include (but are not limited to) the history of children’s literature, the world of children’s book prizing, the legacy of Dr. Seuss, the disturbing image in children’s books, and literary/artistic excellence in children’s literature. In some ways, this is an American Studies course; students will consider ways in which children’s literature infuses our culture—“There’s no place like home.” Students will leave the course with an understanding of central issues and controversies in the industry of children’s book publishing and the literary criticism of children’s books. Most importantly, students will explore the relationship between children’s literature and the idea of social justice.
