CWL 216 [06] - Telling Stories: How the World Writes "You"

Class number: 8306 | Units: 3

Description

Prerequisite: GE Area A2* with a grade of C- or better. Our world is made of stories. The news we read, the ideas we share, and our senses of selfhood all take shape through stories. Study writing from around the world to see how stories reflect and construct personal and cultural identities. Apply tools of literary analysis to texts encountered in everyday life, to examine how narrative forms shape understandings of identity and invite readers to adopt different values. Practice communicating effectively and persuasively to different audiences while exploring how such work can lead to personal and professional success.
